"Other resources" links in the Python 3 documentation refer to the Python 2.7 online documentation. It is also strange that http://python.org/doc (for example from issue tracker sidebar) refer to the Python 2.7 documentation.

The FAQ link (and removing the new style class link, but I think there is already an issue for that) is the only one I see that should be pointing to 3.x that isn't.

python.org/doc and docs.python.org is intentionally the 2.7 docs for now.  We haven't decided when we are going to change it.

I think that it would be appropriate to start redirect (HTTP 302) http://docs.python.org/something/ to the http://docs.python.org/2.7/something/. Today, the situation is Vice versa.

Right now, I do not see the problem mentioned in this report.

http://www.python.org/doc/ point to a page which has reference docs to both 2.7 and 3.0. 
The left hand side, Other Resources Link are generic too.

docs.python.org pointing to py2.7 is a python-dev decision and outside scope of this bug.

I am closing this one as works for me.
