[Bug 1614299] Re: install failure on python 3.5

[Peter G. Marczis]

I added Michael Vogt, as he is the author based on:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-apt
and
https://launchpad.net/python-apt/

Michael, first of all thanks for your great work!
Hope you can help us out here. Do you maintain the pip version of the package? Or is that "abandoned", or just left on older version to be compatible with Debian? Or so, what should we do :)

I'm happy to maintain the pip version, if you don't have time for this
anymore.

Thanks a lot again for all the help!
