Just below the Module heading, most library documenation pages like https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html have a link to the source code in the form of `Source code: Lib/datetime.py` that links to the cpython github file of that module.

Some modules like https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html are missing this though and yet I think it would be quite useful for people who want to navigate the depths of the implementation.

Now, the challenge is that most modules are not located in single code files but what if, instead of leaving it blank, we link to the folder that contains the code of that module? Wouldn't that be helpful?

For example:
For https://docs.python.org/3/library/wsgiref.html, we can add this https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/master/Lib/wsgiref as the link to source code.
