setup for python < 3.5 is broken in release 5.0.0

Hi,

the current setup let python 2.7 install the 5.0.0 release which is incompatible with anything below 3.5.
A small fix in the setup.py is necessary but this will also require a new release I guess.

I would add also that the setup.cfg specify an universal build.

Now that the support for python2 has gone, this is no more true and should be avoided.

This is solved, release 5.0.0 has been yanked and replaced by 5.0.1

@micheles This still appears to be broken to me with 5.0.1. I do the following.

virtualenv -p python2.7 env
source env/bin/activate
pip install setuptools pip --upgrade
pip install decorator

I get the following

Collecting decorator
  Downloading decorator-5.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (8.6 kB)
ERROR: Package 'decorator' requires a different Python: 2.7.18 not in '>=3.5'

This should not have occurred as pip is supposed to pull the last compatible version in this case. I think what may be happening is related to the 'universal' wheel that was produced. It might be that this is short-circuiting the pip logic when selecting a package.
