The page: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Doc/README.txt

Links to: http://docs.python.org/download/

Which is now a 404. A URL which may be correct is: https://docs.python.org/3/download.html

I'm unsure what the org policy is on linking most recent documentation, however. In the Postgres community, we have a 'current' symlink that always links to the most recent version.

It looks like https://docs.python.org/3/download.html (and I suppose the 2.x variant) are the right URLs to use this.

New changeset df8f49f8cdd2 by Senthil Kumaran in branch '3.4':
issue #21190: Fix the broken docs download link
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/df8f49f8cdd2

Fixed this all active versions. Thanks for the report.

For the record, there is a convention (and server config) to have “current version” links: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0430/

Senthil: What do you think about using /3/ instead of /3.4/ in the link so that it does not become another thing that needs to change with each release?

Éric, no preference. I thought this was explicit and if you would like to change it back to /3/, fine, no problem with me. Just think of any redirection issue, if we may accidentally stumble upon, that's it.
