Documentation archives for final 3.5.0 release are missing in https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/3.5.0/

(Compare it with e.g. https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/3.4.0/ and https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/3.4.3/)

They don't go there, they go in https://docs.python.org/3.5/archives/

Where is the documentation that this "https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/3.5.0/" directory is an officially supported directory?

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/ contains documentation for all previous versions since Python 1.1, so https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/${Version} can be considered official.

https://docs.python.org/${Version}/archives URL scheme is not working for majority of versions. E.g. there is no https://docs.python.org/3.3/archives/

Usage of https://www.python.org/ftp/ for documentation archives is also consistent with usage of it e.g. for source archives (e.g. https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.0/Python-3.5.0.tar.xz).

The official way to download the documentation is from this page:

https://docs.python.org/3.5/download.html

which links to the "archives" directory.

When python.org changed to the new site, some things moved around.  I guess this was one of those things.

Anyway, there's no bug here.

I'm not sure there's no bug here, though there certainly doesn't seem to be any bug in your execution of the release process.  I think we should ask Georg's opinion at least.

This is still in PEP 101:

      ___ If this is a final release: Move the doc zips and tarballs to
          /srv/www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/X.Y.Z, creating the directory
          if necessary, and adapt the "current" symlink in .../doc to point to
          that directory.  Note though that if you're releasing a maintenance
          release for an older version, don't change the current link.

https://docs.python.org/3.5/archives/ will have the *continuously rebuilt* versions, so it's not the same.

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/3.5.0/ now contains some files, but they seem to be for the ones for alpha 1 and 3.  The dir for 3.5.1 is still missing.

Perhaps related is that the list at <https://www.python.org/doc/versions/> only goes up to 3.4.3.

"Perhaps related is that the list at <https://www.python.org/doc/versions/> only goes up to 3.4.3."

That page is manually updated by the release managers.  Note that there are entries on the page for the most recent 2.7.x releases, 2.7.11 and 2.7.12, and the corresponding doc archives are available in /ftp/python/doc.  It looks like 3.5.x is the odd duck here and should be updated.  Larry?

I can fix it.  Are instructions on how to update that in PEP 101 and I missed it?

(Do you know where it is in the Django maze of twisty little passages?)

Larry, I updated PEP 101 to reflect I think are the steps required for this with the new website; the doc upload instructions are already in PEP 101.  I'm sure it is still missing some steps.  Feel free to improve!

https://github.com/python/peps/commit/5903b6afd4e658482d382f635a8bb60339668ef1

Okay, I've updated the doc, and verified that the links work.  The releases/3.5.0 directory had problems; it had bad permissions, and was stuck on 3.5.0a3 or something.  I blew it away and installed the 3.5.0 final docs from the tarball and set the permissions by hand.

Is this bug fixed now?

The documentation for recent releases looks nice and functional now, thanks. So at least that aspect is fixed.

The actions in PEP 101 cited by Georg in msg251105 above still need to be done.

It appears that all the docs from the issue title (and the subsequent releases) exist on https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/ now, except that the 3.5.0 ones are for alpha releases instead of the final.  Larry mentioned that in msg271236.  Not sure if fixing that is something that can still be done or if this issue can be closed as resolved?

Thanks!

https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/3.5.0/ now contains copies of the 3.5.0 final downloadable docs and no longer contains any pre-release versions.  Thanks everyone!
