The website was changed and Dr. Martin v. Löwis is not hosted on the new site.

Thank you for the report Patrick! 

For reference this is on the lexical analysis page: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html

> A non-normative HTML file listing all valid identifier characters for Unicode 4.1 can be found at https://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/table-3131.html.


Looking at the page on https://web.archive.org/web/20200312045240/https://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/table-3131.html

it seems like it was just a giant table containing all the valid XID_START and XID_CONTINUE characters. We could just remove the link or point it to the section in the current unicode database we use https://www.unicode.org/Public/13.0.0/ucd/DerivedCoreProperties.txt
where it lists all the characters:

> # Derived Property: XID_Start

Would you like to make a pull request for this?
