Right now `selectors.py` contains this check on module-level:

```
if sys.version_info >= (3, 5):
   ...
```

Learning from other modules, we tend to remove lines like this when some python version reaches EOL. And since 3.4 is not support for a long time now, this condition is always true.

I propose to delete it.

The change should NOT be backported, it doesn't fix any bug but clears code a little
