http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ the previous link goes to http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.0.html.  Can we have this updated please?

This issue does not seem limited to a particular page.  For example, the "Previous topic" link for the Python Standard Library part:

http://docs.python.org/library/index.html

is "9. Full Grammar specification", which is the last section of the following part (the following part being the Language Reference).

> http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ the previous link goes to http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.0.html.

This seems correct to me since the 'All "What's new" documents since 2.0' part of the documentation occurs immediately before the Tutorial part, and 2.0 is the last section in that 'All "What's new"' part.

Note that the 2.0 issue was previously reported in issue 4988 and issue 7683.  The issue I described occurs because the parts on the home page are listed in an order different from their order in the table of contents:

http://docs.python.org/
http://docs.python.org/contents.html

So "Previous topic" respects the table of contents ordering and not the home page ordering.
