I'm not sure that IDL is compatible with python 3.5. If I look in
$IDL_DIR/bin/bin.linux.x86_64 I find dynamic loadable modules (.dlm files) only for Python 2.7 and 3.4 And if you look at the code for python__define.pro you see that if the Python version is not 2.7 or 3.4 then one gets the message "Unable to find a valid Python installation".

In case anyone from Harris Geospatial is monitoring this: IDL 8.5 was released one year ago (though I think the official release was September 2015). Shouldn't we be expecting IDL 8.6 to be arriving very soon? And I presume it will support Python 3.5?

I suppose one could try to see if the dlm for Python 3.4 will also support Python 3.5 (i.e. edit python__define.pro to force recognition of python 3.5) but I am not hopeful.

Can anyone provide me with more insight into what IDL is trying to do when I run a Python command so that I can more effectively troubleshoot the problem? If I knew where IDL thinks Python should be based on my specified environment variables I may be able to see my problem.
