When I built the documentation, I used

    % release.py --export 3.5.0

(release.py coming from hg.python.org/release, a collection of release manager 
tools.)  I then installed this build as the 3.5.0 documentation, specifically 
the build from "python-3.5.0-docs-html.tar.bz2".  I do that so that people 
don't complain "hey the documentation is out of date!" when the release goes 
live.  I wouldn't be surprised if the version picker is suppressed in this 
build, as it's intended to be installed by users.

However, there's a cron job that rebuilds the documentation automatically.  I'm 
not sure how often, but I think it's every couple of hours.  That build 
process, whatever it is, should definitely enable the version picker.

Normally the cron job would have overwritten the docs by now.  However I just 
discovered I left the docs non-group-writeable when I installed them, which 
meant the cron job couldn't overwrite them.  I just fixed that, and hopefully 
within a couple of hours the cron job will awake from its slumber and overwrite 
everything.

tl;dr: Hopefully it'll silently fix itself sometime today.
