INADA-san: do you want to close this issue since you pushed changes, or do you prefer to wait to see if it's issue is fixed before closing it? (wait a few days and look at Travis CI jobs)

3.5 uses:

language: c
dist: trusty
sudo: false
group: beta

3.6 uses:

language: c
dist: trusty
sudo: false
group: beta

These branches still get pull requests for security fixes. Maybe it's worth it to also update these branches? Maybe even upgrade them to Ubuntu Xenial?

I already diagnosed this in https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/3Z4FNPEFTFTYDX6RYOQ54UKOVLQAWUEU/:

* https://travis-ci.org/python/cpython/jobs/616384134 looks for `pythonX.Y` but doesn't account for the fact that it could be Pyenv's stub
* https://travis-ci.org/python/cpython/builds/616384157 is trying to use Python version(s) that are not guaranteed to be preinstalled in the VM for all `language:`s.

I could fix this but I need to know what the hard requirements are to pick an optimal configuration.

* Is the (preinstalled only for `language: c`) `clang 7.0.0` required? Would 3.4-4.0 (available from xenial distro) do?
* Is `xenial` required? Would `bionic` do? In bionic, clang 7 is available from distro.
* Which Python version needs to be preinstalled? Tools/ssl/multissltests.py says it's supposed to be compatible with 2.7 and 3.4-3.7. Options are, by decreasing "sum of flexibility+reliability":
  * use 3.5.1 or 2.7.12 from distro
  * hard require `language:python; python: 3.7` (then we cannot use custom `clang`)
  * use another pyenv-preinstalled version (there are also 3.6 and 2.7 that are supposed to be preinstalled but there might be none)

This may actually fix the problem.

`group: beta` is undocumented. It was required long ago once to try out a new feature but I've absolutely no idea what it does (and if it does anything) now. It's quite possible that it can give us some beta unsupported VM image.

While we are at it, shall we enable build config validation (https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/build-config-validation)?

It would produce warnings for outdated keys like this.

I didn't notice the error in the last days, so I close the issue.

I would be nice to merge PR 17623, but that can be done later (by Larry Hastings, the 3.5 release manager).
