Kurt B. Kaiser added the comment: The issue that Terry Reedy raised is due to 68801 being forward ported to py3k but not backported to 2.6-maint or 3.0-maint. Access in 2.6.2 happens to work because there's a redirect on the website which points to the correct doc release. But 3.0.1 is broken.

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: My point, relative to this issue, was to explain why I had not commented before, but also to report that forward porting is needed, and not just a convenience. I just reported the breakage to webmas...@python.org. -- __

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: "Instead, I think such problems must be detected during beta testing. The fact that it hasn't been detected so far, even though it existed since 2.6.0, indicates that the problem can't be that serious." I believe I tried F1 Help once, got the online docs, found
