New submission from Nelson Elhage <nelh...@nelhage.com>:

This request might be out-of-scope for this bugtracker, but I
suspect that something is causing Google to actively downweight
docs.python.org in its search results, and want to request
someone investigate.

I would expect, for instance, a search for [python set] to turn
up https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#set
_somewhere_ on the first page of results, but it does not. In
fact, the only python.org result I see is for the long-deprecated
Python 2 `sets` module --
https://docs.python.org/2/library/sets.html

Similarly, [python shuffle list] does not turn up
https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html -- or any other
python.org site -- _anywhere_ in the first page of results.

These results are egregious enough to make me suspect you're
being actively downranked for some reason, which is hopefully
identifiable and fixable by a site admin using Google's search
tools at https://developers.google.com/search
