Maybe it's better to put a 301 status code for a while, before removing
them. In this way, google will probably correctly update the search results
URLs.
Sort-of. It's hard to predict what Google will do. That's intentional,
Google needs to stay ahead of link spammers to stay useful to the
general public.

By the way, when looking for SymPy's documentation on google, there are
often results from past versions of SymPy, instead of latest. Does anyone
know how to tell Google to update the links?
Google goes by how many links point to what page. As long as the old
pages have more and "more relevant" links pointing to them, they will
stay on top of the search results.
The best we can do is to update the old pages with a warning that the
page is deprecated, and with a link to the new page; this could also be
done for the dev-py3k docs.
As people start placing more links to the newer pages, the older ones
will start to drop on the results. However, they need to know that newer
pages exist, else they'll continue linking to the first that they found
in Google, further strengthening the old page's rank.
