site:python.org is not good enough -- it gives thousands of hits
on mailing list archives on the site.  If the python.org site
was structured to support Google's site: modifier, e.g. by making
a doc.python.org page that goes to what is now
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ , searching the site would
be far more convenient (and it would be very easy to add links
for such "customized searches").
