New submission from py.user: [guest@localhost ~]$ python3 Python 3.3.0 (default, Sep 29 2012, 22:07:38) [GCC 4.7.2 20120921 (Red Hat 4.7.2-2)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> license() See http://www.python.org/3.3/license.html >>> 404 answer from webmaster(a)python.org: Hello, When I use the version of Python distributed by python.org and type "license()" I get the full license text and not the url. It seems like this might be a change made by Red Hat? Either way, the proper place to discuss issues like this is on the Python bug tracker: http://bugs.python.org/ Feel free to report an issue there and the developers can look at it. This email address is actually for reporting problems with the Python.org website!
