New submission from Julien Palard <julien+pyt...@palard.fr>:

In the old version picker used back in 3.5 [1], the function patch_url was 
patching using the following regex:

    var url_re = /\.org\/(\d|py3k|dev|((release\/)?\d\.\d[\w\d\.]*))\//,

which does not expects a language tag.

This means, for example, that being on 
https://docs.python.org/fr/3.5/library/__main__.html and switching to 3.6 will 
fail (but the reverse will succeed as the implementation of the switcher in 3.6 
understands the language tag).

I see two potential fixes:

- Fix in the 3.5 branch which is not allowed as the branch is in "security 
only" mode.
- Add a rule, nginx-side, to fix the misconstructed URLS (looking like 
/3.6/fr/3.5/library/...) redirectin g them to the right place.

Other ideas and feedback welcome.
