Documentation

Below 1024 pixels width there is no button that returns you to the docs home.

For screen widths > 1023 you can click the "3.13.1 Documentation »" button to return to the docs index.

Proposal

When using the docs on a small screen there is no easy way to return to the index as you can see in the below page:

I propose for usability the Python logo returns you to the index, this is generally the web standard.

I've noticed this on mobile, it's a pain not to have a link back to the docs homepage, and we should add one.

I think changing the logo to link to https://docs.python.org/ instead of https://www.python.org probably makes sense.

One concern, in the full-width display we have:

Image

The logo links nowhere, "Python" links to www.python.org and "3.13.1 Documentation" links to docs.python.org. Should this logo also link to docs.python.org for consistency? Or would it be confusing to have a somewhat change in hierarchy?

@hugovk I agree with both linking to the homepage.

Would it be worth to move the link to Python home to the sidebar or footer, if we remove the existing one?

Yes, or under "Project information:", see #220 (comment).
