As I understand it, http://docs.python.org/library<https://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html> redirects to http://docs.python.org/2/library<https://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html> so that old links, blog posts..... that exist in the world and originally referenced python 2 will still work as they pointed to http://docs.python.org/library<https://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html> (no version number) * Is this correct?
At some point http://docs.python.org/library<https://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html> should stop working. I would consider adding release numbers, i.e http://docs.python.org/3.4/library<https://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html> All this makes me think it would be cool to have a DIFF button on document pages that would show a diff between version number. i.e. when I read a blog post about X and I follow the link in the post to doc version a.b I can see a quick diff to see how it (docs) compare to version c.d I am using. I think http://docs.python.org<https://docs.python.org/3/library/builtins.html> should be a landing page not forwarded to current version docs. Maybe something like http://www.python.org/doc/versions/ although I think that should be here http://docs.python.org/versions/ Vincent Davis 720-301-3003 On Fri, Jan 31, 2014 at 5:41 AM, Rick Boyce <rickbo...@gmail.com> wrote: > I get caught out a lot by the titles Google is showing for pages quite > often too, but as far I can tell they are not related to the /dev docs. > > If I Google "python builtins" the top 3 results, for me, are as follows: > > 2.
