website: something is weird
I look at the downloads page a lot as one of the volunteers on the "webmaster" alias people ask questions about downloads all the time (yes, we have an auto-response that points to more official resources, but we try to be nice as well :) Just now, something has gone strange. I get a garbled page which is headed by this: Notice: While Javascript is not essential for this website, your interaction with the content will be limited. Please turn Javascript on for the full experience. Javascript is certainly not disabled in my browser, lots of other javascripty things are working fine (Firefox dropped the UI to even disable it many releases ago, though it's still possible if you follow instructions off the internet). I'm assuming something else that is blocked here is causing a problem - or - heaven forfend, just some kind of bug... Anybody else see this? Any ideas? actually, I just went somewhere else on the website by opening a saved tab, and see the same: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0287/ so I amended the subject line before sending this....

I'm not seeing that problem, but I've heard reports from around the internet of various outages affecting a lot of different services, and I'm wondering if perhaps a critical library failed to download. The site appears to use jQuery from googleapis.com, so if there's any sort of failure accessing that (I've heard hints that suggest possible DNS failures??), that could break the whole site. ChrisA

I've poked around a bit, it hasn't broken the whole site. Indeed, python.org's homepage looks fine and is using javascript (confirmed by looking at page source, although there was little doubt from the way it behaves). So jquery seems like a good guess...

Just to follow up, everything looks normal today.
