New submission from Peter Bittner <peter.bitt...@gmx.net>:
Currently, when you do a Web search (e.g. using Google, Bing, Yahoo!, DuckDuckGo, et al.) for a Python module or function call you'll find a link to the related Python 2 documentation first. How to reproduce: 1. Search for simply "os.environ" in your favorite search engine. 2. Find a link to the Python documentation in the first 3 results. Typically, this will point to the Python 2 docs first. (Side note: Google seems to now actively manipulate the results ranking Python 3 results higher. Apparently, this is the only popular search engine behaving like that.) Expected result: - When searching for Python modules, functions, builtins, etc. on the Web, no search results for Python 2 should pop up at all if the same content exists for Python 3 Possible implementation: - Add a "noindex" meta tag to the header of the generated HTML documentation - see https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93710 ---------- messages: 364597 nosy: bittner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Avoid Python 2 documentation to appear in Web search results type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40012> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
