The outdated and buggy Python 3.5 version that Debian 9 ships was triggering werid behaviors in some production instances. I switch here the base to Docker Hub's `python:3.5-stretch`, which shares the same underlying OS, but uses latest Python 3.5 (3.5.6 as of today) and gets updates faster. The main upgrade problem would be that projects adding `python-dev` to their `apt_build.txt` files should remove it now. Not a big problem nor fix, so it seems legit for the stable release.

And if you need that library for installing some pip libraries? |
|
It's shipped now in the base image, so no need to install it. In fact, if you install it, you'd end up having 2 different versions of python development headers, so to avoid confusion, just remove that line from dependencies and you're done. |

OK, good to know. Maybe you should put an announcement in the breaking changes thread. |

I'm writing it right now 😉 |
