The problem can be found in many places in docs -- tipically, where there is a function/method with name identical to builtin name (or sometimes to another function/method within the same module -- see: #6575): links leads to te latter but should lead to the former. One example -- open(): http://docs.python.org/library/shelve.html? highlight=open#shelve.DbfilenameShelf http://docs.python.org/library/shelve.html?highlight=open#example http://docs.python.org/library/sunau.html?highlight=open#sunau.openfp http://docs.python.org/library/sunau.html?highlight=open#au-read-objects http://docs.python.org/library/sunau.html?highlight=open#au-write- objects http://docs.python.org/library/wave.html?highlight=open#wave.openfp http://docs.python.org/library/wave.html?highlight=open#wave-read- objects http://docs.python.org/library/wave.html?highlight=open#wave-write- objects http://docs.python.org/library/io.html?highlight=open#module-interface http://docs.python.org/library/io.html?highlight=open#io.open http://docs.python.org/library/io.html?highlight=open#io.IOBase.readline It's hard to find all such place by hand; probably it's a job for a script...

I made an exhaustive search for all builtins; should now be fixed in r74207. Thanks for making me do it properly :)
