Fixed URL to 2.6 documentation
Greetings, I'm writing a module for current Python 2.6 and I would like to reference documentation for Python 2.6, because I am not sure if behavior won't be changed in further series. So far I can link only to: http://docs.python.org/ (stable, 2.6) http://docs.python.org/dev/ (2.7) http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/ When stable changes to 2.7 my reference will point to the different version than I was meant when writing comment. It is possible to link to docs for minor 2.6.4 http://www.python.org/doc/2.6.4/ but I would like to link to latest version of docs in 2.6 branch that may not yet found way into official minor release. -- anatoly t.

As you said, something in 2.6 could change, so linking to a 2.6.x doc link instead of a specific version could be misleading in your docs if a change did occur that you were not aware about. But since micro releases rarely have anything change in them you should be able to link to practically any release and feel comfortable in knowing that things should stay the same through all of 2.6.x. -Brett

You can always use http://docs.python.org/2.6/ as the base for 2.6 docs. It currently redirects to /, but it will redirect to some other place with up-to-date 2.6 docs as soon as 2.7 is released. Georg
