Prepare CDN for faster downloads?

[yyuu]

Created download mirror at http://yyuu.github.io/pythons/. Since GitHub Pages are served by fastly, download using that mirror may be somewhat faster.

Enabled mirror in SHA@0bf26d8f1d5917f33c8d070deb276d180fcf690e. As of writing this, archives of Python 2.7 and Python 3.3 are uploaded to the mirror. They are the current mainline of CPython and most users might prefer them.

• Python-2.7.tgz
• Python-2.7.1.tgz
• Python-2.7.2.tgz
• Python-2.7.3.tgz
• Python-2.7.4.tgz
• Python-2.7.5.tgz
• Python-3.3.0.tgz
• Python-3.3.1.tgz
• Python-3.3.2.tgz
