For those of you who like me are still running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: the minimum version of python required to build gecko got bumped from 3.5 to 3.6. As Ubuntu 16.04 doesn't offer python3.6 out of the box, you may need to build it from source to get going again. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1644845#c10 for steps that worked for me.
I had just noticed this thanks to your filing the bug and marking it blocking bug 1543241 ("mach-busted"). (I have mrgiggles monitoring `mach busted` output.) That's useful to know, since I've been trying to fix something that I think is py35-specific and had just figured out how to point mach at py35.
For systems that don't have a newer Python package available, this points out that it would be nice to have a Python toolchain job to make it easy to get a python via `mach bootstrap`. Perhaps there are easier ways, though?
