Hi Bruce,

you shouldn't need to do anything special; there is no link to a separate
printer-friendly version.

The print-media styles are in http://docs.python.org/_static/basic.css,
which is in turn included by http://docs.python.org/_static/default.css,
and they should get used automatically whenever the browser determines it
renders the page for printing, and not for the screen.  For me, when I
call up the print preview, I can see that the sidebar is not rendered.
