Just like it happenned with 2.7.3, the .chm help files are not present in the download pages.

The download page (e.g : http://docs.python.org/3/download.html) advertises the presence of .chm files but they are not there. 

I am unsure whether or not these files are still built, but as this as happend for all 3.* versions and there is no previous bug report, it might be worth looking at simply removing support for these files.

The files are built and included with the Windows installer. Perhaps they can be installed without installing anything else. In any case, unless they are (again?) made available as a separate download, 

"HTML Help (.chm) files are made available in the "Windows" section on the Python download page."

should be changed to something like

"Compiled HTML Help (.chm) files  are included with the Windows MSI Installer on the Python download page."

The CHM files for 2.7.x and 3.3.x are now there.
