python35 is an AUR package that is *not* the "python" package pinned at
version 3.5

You are not permitted to change the version of the "python" package, as
it will break all python-related software in the entire distribution, of
which there is a tremendous amount. If you do it, you are no longer
running Arch Linux.

There is absolutely no issue with installing the python35 package next
to the python package, it will work flawlessly.
