[New-bugs-announce] [issue32620] [3.5] Travis CI fails on Python 3.5 with "pyenv: version `3.5' not installed"

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at gmail.com>:

My workaround for bpo-31568 is causing new issues on Python 3.5.

Output:
---
0.03s$ pyenv global system 3.5
pyenv: version `3.5' not installed
---

Extract of Python 3.5 .travis.yml:
---
      before_install:
        # work around https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/8363
        - pyenv global system 3.5
---

=> https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/8363

This workaround was added by me:
---

    bpo-31568, Travis CI: Fix python3.5 (#3737)
    
    Works around Travis CI bug about the python3.5 binary:
    https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/8363
---

Without the workaround, running "python3.5" on Travis CI failed with "pyenv: python3.5: command not found".

Extract of Larry Hastings's email:

I have three PRs for Python 3.5.5rc1:

    https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/4656
    https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5197
    https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/5201

I can't merge them because Travis CI is unhappy.  All three CI tests fail in the same way, reporting this error:

    The command "pyenv global system 3.5" failed and exited with 1 during .
