setup: don't support py 3.5.0, 3.5.1, 3.5.2 because of bug in codecs codecs.escape_encode() raises SystemError if an empty bytestring is passed. We do that at some places in our code and because of this bug, things break. Therefore we can't support the mentioned version. The bug was fixed in 3.5.3, 3.6.0 beta 2. We can't support 3.6.0 anyway because of bug in formatting bytestrings. Link to the python bug: https://bugs.python.org/issue25270 Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4475

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
