I wonder if removing HTMLParser().unescape() would hurt Python 2 → 3 compatibility. This was mentioned in Ezio’s draft deprecation policy PEP <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2016-January/003706.html>: “nothing that is available and not deprecated in 2.7 should be removed from Python 3 as long as 2.7 is officially supported”.

Is there any pressing need to get rid of the method? Maybe just fix the reference to Python 3.5 for the time being.
