Not sure if this is an oversight or something deliberate... could be either.

>From http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/http.server.html there's no
link to the current docs, even though from
http://docs.python.org/3/library/http.server.html it's possible to
switch to 3.2 and then back to 3.3 (or to 2.7, but that fails and
redirects since http.server doesn't exist in 2.7). This wouldn't be
much of a bother, except that a Google search for 'python http.server'
(which is the way I normally pull up Python docs) landed me on /3.0/
instead of /3/.

Was this intentional, along the lines of not touching the old and
unsupported docs?
