The documentation for the runpy module has a link to the -m command line option. In version 2.7.2 of the docs, the link doesn't exist.

http://docs.python.org/release/2.7/library/runpy.html
http://docs.python.org/release/2.7.2/library/runpy.html

If you run

    touch library/runpy.rst
    make html

then the link is created, but with an anchor of "cmdoption-unittest-discover-m" instead of "cmdoption-m".

http://docs.python.org/release/2.7.2/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-unittest-discover-m

It’s weird that the docs under /release/2.7 has the link but not the one under /.

I can't reproduce this issue for v2.7.2 anymore, and none of the other versions have this problem.

Is it possible to regenerate the online docs for v2.7.2 before closing this issue?

Thanks for the update.  The docs under /release/x.y.z are snapshots from that release, so they are not continuously regenerated.  If the current /2 and /2.7 docs are good, this can be closed.
