New submission from Eli Bendersky <eli...@gmail.com>:

Michał Chałupczak reported in this docs@ list that the links to IBM 
developerworks articles are wrong.

I wonder whether it makes sense to use external modules in official Python 
documentation, since these are not guaranteed to be ported. This issue is a 
good example of this happening.

The HOWTO should be probably rewritten to use only the stdlib. The links to IBM 
developerworks should be, IMHO, removed, since they point to articles written 
in 2001 and have code samples that won't work on Python 3.x
