Hello, I was consulting the documentation section of the python site (for example https://docs.python.org/release/3.11.1/download.html) and when attempting to download the documentation for any file type of any version, it turns out none are available.
Where can I get the documentation for the versions I seek.
If you do not intend to host documentation on the site, there's no point in having such a section in the first place; it's important you remove it as it misleads visitors.
Regards, - Mark
I can verify that the files for 3.11.1 from the page at < https://docs.python.org/release/3.11.1/download.html%3E get a 404 response. On that page, the URL for the ePub version is: https://docs.python.org/ftp/python/doc/3.11.1/python-3.11.1-docs.epub
The files from the file listing at < https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/3.11.1/%3E seem to work. On that page, the URL for the ePub version is: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/3.11.1/python-3.11.1-docs.epub
Note that the URL that works has a hostname of "www.python.org", and the broken one has "docs.python.org". I suspect that these two accidentally diverged at some point, and this needs to be escalated to the systems team maintaining the web site.

The links now seem to work, although the issue is still open.
