Typesafety

The typing module is not yet stable (it was included provisionally) and typing_inspect does not work for certain versions that are still used by some Linux distributions (i.e. Ubuntu Xenial uses 3.5.2 instead of 3.5.3, where typing_inspect works differently). We need to take those somewhat into account.

In setup.py, the requires argument was replaced with install_requires because dependencies weren't automatically installed.

The typing.Union, typing.Optional and typing.Callable annotations were implemented to replace the tuple notation and the use of the callable method as annotations. Those are deprecated and will be removed from a future release.

Dropping unsupported Python versions 3.2 and 3.3 and introduce support for version 3.6.
