In the documentation index, https://docs.python.org/2/genindex-D.html, the link to the del statement documentation is not 

https://docs.python.org/2/reference/simple_stmts.html#del

as it presumably should be, but

https://docs.python.org/2/reference/datamodel.html#index-25

Affects all versions, but with a different wrong link in each one, as follows:
Python 2.7: https://docs.python.org/2/reference/datamodel.html#index-25
Python 3.2: https://docs.python.org/3.2/reference/datamodel.html#index-21
Python 3.3: https://docs.python.org/3.3/reference/datamodel.html#index-22
Python 3.4: https://docs.python.org/3.4/reference/datamodel.html#index-22
Python 3.5: https://docs.python.org/3.5/reference/datamodel.html#index-22

The del statement is in each case documented at https://docs.python.org/[version number]/reference/simple_stmts.html#del.
