IIUC, we already do that in python-2, and python-3 inherits from
python-2. So, it seems that it's not enough.

I picked this up. I've attached two patches. They upgrade python-3.4 to
3.4.5, and then upgrade python-3 to 3.5.2 while preserving a python-3.4.
These are the latest releases in their respective series.

I had to split part of the python-fix-tests.patch into 3.4 and 3.5
specific patches, since those packages' codebases have diverged.

address@hidden and address@hidden both build on master and wip-python.
python-setuptools builds with address@hidden on master.

I'd like to put these on core-updates. The wip-python branch will take a
while to get ready. I found this saga about what Nix had to do to
upgrade setuptools:
