In tox.ini the earliest version is 3.5 and if memory serves me right
there's a reasonably good reason for that.  I think the notmuch2
bindings use some features not yet present in 3.4.  But anything >= 3.5
should be supported and if not a bug.  I guess tox.ini should be updated
with 3.8 sometime :)
