The "Other Resources" section lists these resources:


Guido's Essays: out of date, the first is about 2.2, by the fifth, we're into Python 1.5.

New-style Classes: this means "new" as of 2.2, and the linked page begins, "Unfortunately, new-style classes have not yet been integrated into Python's standard documention."

These two links should be removed from the doc sidebar, they don't add much over the documentation itself.

+0 as long as the linked pages don't go anywhere.  They've been great resources, containing some information that is not located elsewhere.

Here's a patch that removes a few links:
 * FAQs: the link is already in the page;
 * Guido's Essays: the content is outdated;
 * New-style Classes: the content is outdated;
 * Other Doc Collections: link is broken;
 * Report a Bug: the link is already in the page;

Someone should also update the pages about New-style Classes and Guido's Essays.
