Re: [docs] [pydotorg-www] Two problematic pages

There are two pages that I'd like to get rid of, but am dithering about:
* http://www.python.org/doc/newstyle/ claims:
Unfortunately, new-style classes have not yet been integrated into Python's standard documention. Fear not, however; many people have worked to provide useful information on creating and using new-style classes.
Is this still true? Are the resources linked from that page still useful?
CCed to docs.
* A lot of the ports on http://www.python.org/download/other/ are very old. (2.1, 2.4, even 1.5.2, etc.). I think most people will just search for "Python <OS name>" and not come to python.org to poke around. Can we just drop the page completely?
Very useful page. Converting to wiki is a good idea.
Now that I look at it, http://www.python.org/download/linux/ doesn't really have a lot of content; maybe it can be deleted, too.
It should be redirected to Wiki and Wiki expanded with information how to get the Python installed for their platform (Ubuntu/Debian), how to install newer Python (very actual for Debian). Describe Python environment on these platforms or provide relevant links. -- anatoly t.
