+A: You need to add a symlink to libpython3.5m.so.rh-python35-1.0 to make it works. 
+
+Here is the solution:
+
+- find the libpython3.5XX on your system : find /usr/lib -iname *libpython3.5*
+(on Ubuntu 14.04, it is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.5m.so)
+- create a symlink : ln -s path/to/lib/python3.5XX
+path/to/lib/libpython3.5m.so.rh-python35-1.0
+- Try to import otbApplication again
