This issue was created as a reference for MAINTENANCE.md (created in #155).

Currently, Python versions 2.7, 3.4, and 3.5 have reached their end of life. Python 3.6 will reach its end of life on 23 Dec 2016. Source.

Dropping support for these versions would allow the project to

adapt the latest packaging best-practices (see "Building a distribution" in MAINTENANCE.md)
adapt the latest type-annotation best-practices (as they had to be reverted in Restore test syntax compatibility with Python 2.7, 3.4, and 3.5 #152)

The decision for the process of no longer supporting specific Python versions can either be based on:

Official Python support schedule as defined by https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches
Based on usage (requires Pypi support #14 to be implemented)
