I'd prefer to avoid it, obviously. Suggestions, then?

This is a tarball of documentation coming directly from
docs.python.org, which seem to be regenerated nightly (with new
checksums). The other versions are available in a stable form
(http://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc) but not the latest for 34
(3.4.4) or 35 (3.5.1). If there is another, stable, download location,
I'd be happy to point to it.

Thanks,
