It looks like not per default though?
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/python3

There's no python3 listed in backports, but apparently in "updates"? No 
idea how it works there, but on debian you need to explicitly choose a 
bpo package to get it installed, it won't land automatically.

Anyway, for all I care we can drop support for 3.6, I just have no idea 
if buildbot runs on at least 3.7? Last I heard it didn't, but that's 
been a while.

In any case something like 7379f8b "build: prereq: drop support for 
Python 3.5" for 3.6 should go in first.

Cheers,
