FWIW you can make #python a link using either irc://chat.freenode.net/python (this will open the default IRC app, and I think Firefox even ask if you want to use a webchat) or http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=python (for the freenode webchat). If you are going to do it, it might be worth mentioning that the channel requires registration. I agree with Victor that the network (Freenode or irc.freenode.net) should be specified. Also the #python-dev channel should be mentioned (it doesn't require registration, so links are fine here). Best Regards, Ezio Melotti
