The Mailman GUI contains a few links to the python.org documentation
which are now broken. These links and the current equivalents are:

http://www.python.org/doc/
    works, but could map to http://docs.python.org/
http://www.python.org/doc/current/
    works, but could map to http://docs.python.org/
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/
    -> http://docs.python.org/library/
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-re.htm
    -> http://docs.python.org/library/re.html
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/re-syntax
    -> http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/typesseq-strings.html
    ->
http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting-operations

It would be really cool if these old URIs could redirect to the new ones.

I've added the redirects. I hope that mailman updates its links in the
next release though :)

Thank you for adding the redirects, and for getting them right in spite
of my garbling some of them in the original report.

I have updated the links for the next Mailman release.
