$ /usr/local/bin/python3.5
Python 3.5.0 (v3.5.0:374f501f4567, Sep 12 2015, 11:00:19)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin

>>> import distutils.util
>>> distutils.util.get_platform()
'macosx-10.6-intel'

I can only assume they built their Python with a deployment target of 
10.5 (MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5).
