First, ISTR we've had problems with stealth updates of python docs
in the past.

Just in case it helps - for comparing extracted source tarballs I
eun diff -Naur. Well, except for firefox and similar where I run
diff -Nur -X with a file of filenames I hope to ignore (doesn't work
100% for the ignores, but it reduces the amount noticeable.
Omitting -a is to try to reduce translations which don't render
correctly in whatever encoding diff has decided to use.

I have an aversion to all python, but more importantly I'm now at
the stage where I should try to avoid making edits for a couple of
days. But perhaps we should warn that the python docs get updated
frequently without changing the version, and maybe people should
download from anduin if checking the md5sum ?
Of course, that means downloading an old version of the docs after
any changes.

And you, it's now about 5 minutes before midnight here, I'll
probably soon not be making any sense!
