When I do a google search the version numbers are mismatched with the linked page (or redirected). For example search for "python counter" I get the following results. (see attachment) It seems like the website is redirecting incorrectly.
- collections - Python 3.3.3 documentationhttp://docs.python.org/library/collections.html
- links to http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html
- redirects to http://docs.python.org/2/library/collections.html
- Which is python 2.7.6
- itertools - Python 3.3.3 documentationhttp://docs.python.org/library/itertools.html
- links to http://docs.python.org/library/itertools.html
- redirects to http://docs.python.org/2/library/itertools.html
- Which is again 2.7.6
- 8.3. collections — Container datatypes - Python 3.3.3 documentationhttp://docs.python.org/dev/library/collections
- This one seems correct, 3.40b2
The link to addresses are not really true, they look more like: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&a...

Internal links with no version redirect to the Python 2 version for backwards compatibility reasons.

Yep, and the URLs without version never served Python 3 docs as far as I can remember, so I don't know where Google has these <title>s from.

My guess would be that it's the title of the page that we (now) get from the url http://docs.python.org/ . Only my 2 cents, but this "bug" as reported by Vincent Davis might be worth a workaround...
A bientôt,
Armin.
I get caught out a lot by the titles Google is showing for pages quite often too, but as far I can tell they are not related to the /dev docs.
If I Google "python builtins" the top 3 results, for me, are as follows:
- Built-in Functions -- Python v2.7.6 documentation -> http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html 28.3. builtins -- Built-in objects -- Python 3.3.3 documentation -> https://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html Built-in objects - Python 3.3.3 documentation -> http://docs.python.org/library/__builtin__.html
The top two are fine, but the last one is a Python 2 docs page but Google shows the title as being for 3.3. This seems to be really common when googling for python docs.
At least the design of the two versions is different enough that you spot it immediately, but it happens often enough to be confusing all the same!

As I understand it, http://docs.python.org/libraryhttps://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html redirects to http://docs.python.org/2/libraryhttps://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html so that old links, blog posts..... that exist in the world and originally referenced python 2 will still work as they pointed to http://docs.python.org/libraryhttps://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html (no version number)
- Is this correct?
At some point http://docs.python.org/libraryhttps://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html should stop working. I would consider adding release numbers, i.e http://docs.python.org/3.4/libraryhttps://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html
All this makes me think it would be cool to have a DIFF button on document pages that would show a diff between version number. i.e. when I read a blog post about X and I follow the link in the post to doc version a.b I can see a quick diff to see how it (docs) compare to version c.d I am using.
I think http://docs.python.orghttps://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html should be a landing page not forwarded to current version docs. Maybe something like http://www.python.org/doc/versions/ although I think that should be here http://docs.python.org/versions/

I can't get the https https://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html link to work. Does python.org support httpshttps://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html? it should :-)

My mistake - I must have added the extra s when I de-googleized the URL.
