Version 8 Lowest supported Python 3 should be 3.5 (instead of 3.6) #2540

Description

@ronilan

Overview

Node-Gyp version 8 requires Python 3.6 and above.
That was introduced when support for Python 2 was dropped.

Debian 9 (Stretch) comes with Python 3.5.
It is in LTS mode until the end of June 2022.

Problem

NPM upgraded to Version 8 of node-gyp, and support for Debian 9 was inadvertently dropped as a result.

See full bug description here: npm/run-script#40

Solution

To allow NPM to use version 8 of node-gyp - set lowest required version of Python to 3.5 instead of 3.6.
