PEP 12 states:

"""
To get the source this (or any) PEP, look at the top of the HTML page and click on the date & time on the "Last-Modified" line. It is a link to the source text in the Python repository.
"""

Unfortunately, the link actually goes to SVN, which only works for (older copies of) older PEPs.

Following that link in a newer PEP returns a 404.

The templates have been fixed 1 year ago, when we moved from SVN to HG. I suppose that the bot has an old local copy of the template (Python scripts to compile reST to HTML). But who owns the robot? :-)

Thanks for the report.  www.python.org is not in a python-dev repository, so there is nothing the developers following bugs.python.org can do.  Could you repost the problem to the pydotorg mailing list?

It's fine now, anyway.

How so?  Links still point to the old Subversion server.

Not sure how it was supposed to be fixed in the past, as the docutils formatter would happily use whatever URL the docutils release had in place. I now fixed it for real (I hope) in 34076bfed420

Confirmed, thanks!
