Seems to be working now, at least if you start at the top with
http://docs.python.org/
There was a problem with links to specific pages under that subdomain 
not working because of page renaming.  I don't know if redirects have 
been added yet.  If not, start at the top.

The Windows version installs a nice Windows Help version of the docs. 
The left sidebar lists all the docs, so it is much easier to jump 
between different docs (Language ref to lib ref and back.).  At last -- 
a reason to be happy using Windows (other than the games).
