[Python-Dev] Playing with a new theme for the docs

[Guido van Rossum]

Also I see that (like Google) you're falling for the fallacy of using
less contrast. From an accessibility perspective that's questionable
-- and I don't mean the legally blind, just people like myself whose
eyes are getting a bit older. This also means I don't particularly
like adding background color (no matter how light) to text samples.
