Ned Deily added the comment: In general, we do not backport documentation changes to branches in the security-fix phase of their life cycles and their online versions are only updated for a release. -- status: open -> closed versions: -Python 3.6, Python 3.7

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: The tkdocs pages load in less than a second rather than in several seconds, have the obsolete link lined out, and include a short explanatory note. So I made the replacement. Ned, please backport to 3.7 and 3.6 if still built nightly. --
