Section 6.12 of the Python 2.x language reference (https://docs.python.org/2/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-import-statement) has a link to "The original specification for packages" to http://www.python.org/doc/essays/packages.html, which is not found.

New changeset dae99db70336 by Benjamin Peterson in branch '2.7':
remove link to the 'original package specification'; I doubt it's useful anymore (closes #22657)
