[pydotorg-www] Fwd: JavaScript problem

[Michael Foord]

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).
