## Description

py3redirect automatically redirects links to Python 2 documentation pages to the Python 3 docs (or a specific Python 3.x version you choose). When Google or other search results point to older Python 2 pages, this extension ensures you land on the correct Python 3 documentation without manually switching versions.

Lightweight and configurable, py3redirect streamlines documentation lookup for developers, students, and anyone working with Python 3. A Chrome Web Store version is available for easy installation, letting you keep your documentation view consistent with your project's Python version.
