Now, why do the other formats have a version number in them? So that you can have them all in the same directory, and they won't overwrite each other. And so that if you downloaded one of them, you'd still know what it is that you downloaded afterwards.

The one deployed with the binaries installer could still be renamed to python.chm. When you start the CHM file, the first thing hitting you is a huge "Python v2.6.5 documentation" header, so I don't think anybody would be confused. And there doesn't seem to be a link to download the CHM files (the last I could find on python.org is for Python 2.6.2).

Anyway, this is not a big issue.
