It would be a pretty inefficient use of engineering resources to try to pull just python 3.5 to the older system; it would be better to focus on updating everything to a more modern version, such as Ubuntu xenial (16.04). Unfortunately, the current level of manpower is quite available, and debathena-cluster remains unsupported on Ubuntu xenial, although less demanding metapackages like debathena-login are believed to work. Sorry for the bad news, Ben Kaduk
