The simplest and most effective way to report a problem with a website --
any website -- is to send an email to webmaster at wherever.com describing the
problem.  I have been on both the sending and receiving end of such emails.
In the case of python.org, as one of the webmasters if I can fix it quickly,
I do so.  If it looks like it's going to be more involved I pass it along to
pydotorg.
