page 8 for the python 3.2 refernce document ("identifiers and keywords") has text that runs way past the page. This document (and probably every other document) should be run through LaTeX again with draft, to find all instances where text doesn't fit on the page, so that this can be fixed.

I presume you are talking about long boxed grammar or example lines that run horizontally past the right edge of the window, like

id_start     ::=  <all characters in general categories Lu, Ll, Lt, Lm, Lo, Nl, the underscore, and characters with the Other_ID_Start property>

For both the .html (online) and .chm (windows help) versions of the docs, these boxes have horizontal scroll bars. For both types of files, regular text is wrapped according to the size of the window, which the user can change. Neither involved latex and there is no such thing as the width of the page, and there are no page numbers either.

Are you, possibly, referring to a .pdf version, which I believe is run through latex?

Yes, the problem is with the PDF. See also #4173.

Then this appears to be a duplicate. Closing
