I read the comment about Adobe admitting that it can't print the 
Python documentation is their fault, but as the bug doesn't seem to 
get fixed, is there any workaround that we could make?

Especially on MacOSX you have the problem that there is no Acrobat 4 
that you can use (unless you want to run it under Classic), and it 
seems a bit silly to have all this beautiful documentation that people 
then can't print...

I have been in contact with two other people about this bug,
here is an extract from some conversation we had.  I'll be
happy to mail Fred his email adress, don't want to post it
here on the web.

Well, there is a bug in Acrobat Reader, but recent pdftex
versions
have a workaround for it. It might be that this is a different
problem.

Yes, I'll do this next week.

It seems python.sty defines its own \url command which
apparently
used to create hyperlinks, but as it was tailored to very
specific
pdftex (and hyperref) versions, it breaks now.

This has been lying around for more than two years, and the
Reader is at version 7 now... I believe that I can close
this as "Out of Date".
