Why "/2.x/" and not just "/2/" ?

I think we should do the same for all Python 3 resources, i.e.
have "/library/os.html" redirect to "/3/library/os.html" so that
we don't run into the same problem again in the future.

We also need a solution for URLs that exist for Python 2, but
not for Python 3. Those should be redirected to the Python 2
resource automatically, e.g. URLs pointing to the Python 2 modules
that were renamed in Python 3.

BTW: Will you write up a PEP for this ?
