New submission from Kinebuchi Tomohiko: The download page [1]_ contains a link intended to refer to the release page of the corresponding Python version [2]_.
.. [1] `Download Python 2.7.13 Documentation <https://docs.python.org/2.7/download.html>`_ .. [2] e.g. `Python 2.7.8 Release <https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.8/>`_ Although, this link is broken for three reasons. 1. Wrong template syntax `Present code <https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Doc/tools/templates/download.html#L78-L80>`_:: <p>{% trans download_page="https://www.python.org/download/releases/{{ release[:5] }}/" %}HTML Help (<tt>.chm</tt>) files are made available in the "Windows" section on the <a href={{ download_page }}>Python download page</a>.{% endtrans %}</p> Fixed code:: <p>{% trans download_page="https://www.python.org/download/releases/"; + release[:5] + "/" %}HTML Help (<tt>.chm</tt>) files are made available in the "Windows" section on the <a href="{{ download_page }}">Python download page</a>.{% endtrans %}</p> 2. Unexpected version number The URL contains a Python version string (i.e. ``release[:5]``), but for Python 2.7.13, ``release[:5]`` evaluates to ``'2.7.1'`` which obviously wrong as a version string. 3. Non-existent release pages for some versions www.python.org has pages which URLs are https://www.python.org/download/releases/<version>/ with <version> = 2.7.1--8, although has no pages with <version> = 2.7.9 and so on. Is https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2713/ an appropriate page to refer? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 290057 nosy: cocoatomo, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: The link referring to "Python download page" is broken versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29888> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
