The current stable version of h5py, 2.3.1, dates from 2014 and gets no support from upstream (meaning: if I hit a bug, I get asked to update to 2.6.0). I have not seen any bugs about 2.6.0, so it may be a good candidate for stabilization. This would require stabilization of dev-python/pkgconfig-1.1.0 as well.
It may be due to some info I'm missing about the python-3.5 stabilization, but this package may, but is not documented to work with 3.5. It is documented to work with 3.4 (and much below): see README text on <https://github.com/h5py/h5py>.
