Please see https://bugs.python.org/issue35435 and related links from that issue. I've found that the search engines are getting better at linking to the more recent docs. For example, all of these: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=python+docs+random https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=python+docs+itertools https://www.bing.com/search?q=python+docs+netrc https://www.startpage.com/do/search?q=python+docs+array https://www.dogpile.com/serp?q=python+docs+shutil give me Python 3 first and Python 2 second. Even the comparatively obscure "sndhdr" module gets Python 3 first: https://www.google.com/search?q=python+docs+sndhdr However these gives Python 2 first: https://www.startpage.com/do/search?q=python+docs+netrc https://www.dogpile.com/serp?q=python+docs+fileinput But note that the docs do include a drop down menu to select the version, so it shouldn't be that difficult to swap from old versions to the most recent.
