SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This still happening. Can you fix it? I suspect this is syntax that is valid in later versions of python but not in 3.5 and earlier. If so, one option would be to limit py35-rpy2 to an older version of rpy2 that is compatible with python 3.5. Another option would be to remove py35-rpy2 entirely, presuming no other ports depend on it.
