Hmm. Loading https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2/descrintro/ without 
javascript:

  - at the top right the "AA", "Socialize" and "Sign In" labels have menu dropdowns exposed below them, downless covering... something.

  - the AA menu buttons are all dysfunctional, being purely javascript; it would be better if the menu was styled "display=none" by default, and made visible by javascript

There are also the disappointingly common placeholder characters in various 
place, for example to the left of each item in the "Socialize" menu. These look 
like this:

  <li class="tier-2 element-1" role="treeitem"><a 
  href="http://plus.google.com/+Python"><span aria-hidden="true" 
  class="icon-google-plus"></span>Google+</a></li>

so I'm suppose this is some failed style sheet. [...] It looks like this may 
NoScript blocking a font load directive. [...] Yup.
