We have at least one user who is using the LibreJS extension that blocks javascript not known to be "free" (in the ideological sense). Parts of python.org break when you do this. I promised I would forward this feedback to the web team.
It looks like the google calendars break (no surprise) and also the sphinx search for the python documentation (really a sphinx issue instead of a python.org web team issue).
Google calendars show some HTML when JS is no working. It's not pretty, though. I'd say we close this as "won't fix" :-)

- although your report is not sufficient to actually diagnose any particular problem. Yes, LibreJS is not very informative about its decisions about JavaScript code it sees. Probably because the algorithm behind these decisions is not trivial. I think there is some info on this in LibreJS readme file, but that is the extent of my knowledge
What do you mean by "broken"? These features do not work. The calendar-related feature on python.org says that JavaScript is disabled, while search feature doesn't show up, without any explanations from docs.python.org
As far as I can tell the features you describe (calendars and search) all work fine. Apparently, they rely non-free JS code, which is blocked by LibreJS, which is why they do not work.
