Description

Just adding this to the workboard to be picked up by someone.

Python should be updated to 3.6.1, or at least 3.5.3 if sticking with the 3.5 branch in the meantime.

To anyone considering taking on this task, do note that due to the nature of the image configuration, i..e a present python3,
it will result in the removal of setuptools, pip, pkg_extras, etc.

I'm planning an upgrade path but basically I'm going to have to split them out into separate packages and build with --without-ensurepip

@ikey, do you think you could update to 3.5.4 for the next ISO? There's a handful of CVEs fixed in this version, see here.

Cheers @ikey, certainly been a productive day, keep up the good work!
