New submission from Julien Palard <julien+python at 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.
