Python Doc 2.6 vs 2.5--A Matter of Format?

[W. eWatson]

I see <http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/> for 2.5 and <http://docs.python.org/>
for 2.6. I'm guessing these two pages differ somewhat in formats simply
because someone decided to do so, and not that I'm in the wrong place for
each of the two versions, correct? For example, somewhere down in the 2.5, I
should find the 2.6 equivalent of <http://docs.python.org/genindex.html>?

Correct. The documentation format has significantly changed.

For
example, somewhere down in the 2.5, I should find the 2.6 equivalent of
<http://docs.python.org/genindex.html>?

Not necessarily. The change in format also means a change in indices;
the formats differ in what indices precisely are created, and what
precisely they contain. Try

http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/lib/genindex.html
