Yes, just make sure your Python is up-to-date.
I think you are currently running an old version - I tried it myself, not running into any issues on a 32 bit distro.

While both you and OP uses 32-bit OS, your environment is completely different from him. It'd be great if you can share which distro you use, Python version, Electrum version and whether you compile Electrum from source or not.

Your Python version is 3.5.1 while Electrum require Python 3.6. What you should do is updating your system to ensure you get latest package.

But if after update, your Python version is still below 3.6 you should install it manually either by :
1. Add another repository which have newer version of Python such as https://launchpad.net/~deadsnakes/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
2. Compile newer version of Python from source, see https://realpython.com/installing-python/#compiling-python-from-source

Seems like python detects that line of code has a syntax error.

You need python 3.6.1 at a minimum[1]. Have you tried following the installation steps at https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum, including the python installation part?

How did you install/download it? Try to upload a screenshot to imgur and then send the link here.

The attempt to start Electrum failed again.

Is there someone who has an idea where I have to look?

The previous comments here seem to show that appimage is not executable on my system. So I tried python 3 again.

Since it's unknown whether Electrum support 32-bit OS or not, please try to run Electrum (whether it's appimage or python source) from terminal and see error printed by Python.

On a side note, i don't see any reason to use 32-bit OS since there are many 64-bit lightweight linux distro with very light DE (e.g. LXQt and Xfce.

Most linux distro are 64-bit OS by default, unless you specifically download and use 32-bit linux distro where 64-bit application won't run at all.

The very reason would be a cpu without 64bit support, such as the Pentium M or the atom 270 in an old laptop.

Obviously the appimage is useless, but getting it to run from source should work as long as the proper python is installed.

there should not be any issues for installing and using Electrum on a 32-bit OS as for example the binaries are already for 32-bit machines for windows (it is even installed under Program Files (x86) instead of Program Files). if you are facing any problems it might be a python related problem.
you can also check out this topic for a similar issue that was solved: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/solved-electrum-335-on-a-32-bit-computer-5182558

I have tried it under
Appimage
and
Python sources,
but it does not work.

You might want to be more specific. What error are you getting? I've tried like 4 Linux distros(including Mint) and I had zero problems with every single one concerning Electrum.

I am looking for the reason, but can't find it. So my last idea is (perhaps?) my very old Laptop (32 Bit system).

Are you having any issue?

I thought Electrum worked on both 32 and 64 bits. Are you running it from Python?

Is there a current Electrum wallet download for 32 Bit that runs on Linux (Mint)?
