[issue38528] Docs for 2.7 version switcher still shows 3.8 as pre
New submission from Julin <julinshaji02@gmail.com>: The version switcher in the docs for Python2.7 still shows version 3.8 as `pre (3.8)`. Can we change it to `3.8.0` to mirror that in docs of 3.8? Also, 2.7 docs version switcher at the moment show `dev (3.9)` for 3.9 whereas the 3.8 docs say `3.9.0a0` can it be changed as well? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 354950 nosy: docs@python, ju-sh priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Docs for 2.7 version switcher still shows 3.8 as pre versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38528> _______________________________________

Is the same acceptable for `3.9`? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38528> _______________________________________
Ned Deily <nad@python.org> added the comment: Thanks for thre report. I overlooked 2.7 when updating the version switcher; the change will appear over the next 24 hours or so as the on-line docs get fully rebuilt.
Also, 2.7 docs version switcher at the moment show `dev (3.9)` for 3.9 whereas the 3.8 docs say `3.9.0a0` can it be changed as well?
That's not quite accurate. Only the 3.9 version of the documents show 3.9.0a0, not from any of the other versions; just as only the 3.8 version of the docs build shows 3.8.0 etc. That's an artifact of how the docs are built; we don't do anything to update the specific version. Compare the version switchers for: https://docs.python.org/3.7/ https://docs.python.org/3.8/ https://docs.python.org/3.9/ I don't that's worth trying to change.
A PR (16848) has been opened now for the change for pre (3.8) to `3.8.0`.
No, it changes it to "3.8". As noted above, only the 3.8 version of the docs when built will show the current 3.8.x release number. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily resolution: -> fixed stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38528> _______________________________________
