If we do, perhaps we should revisit http://bugs.python.org/issue10446

http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/b41404a3f7d4/ changed pydoc in the py3k
branch to direct people to http://docs.python.org/X.Y/library/ rather
than to http://docs.python.org/library/

This was applied to the 3.2 and 3.1 branches, but hasn't been backported
to any of the 2.* - so if docs.python.org starts defaulting to python 3,
it makes sense to backport that change to 2.*


Hope this is helpful
