I think Travis is testing compatibility with Python 3.5 which means we can't use f strings. May we increase the minimum requirements to Python 3.6? Or would that exclude a lot of hypothetical users?

My only mild concern is that the default Python 3 in Ubuntu 16.04 is 3.5, and that will have support through 2021. The official end of life for 3.5 isn't until September 2020 as well. Not everyone will have/want to use Anaconda...
