Checklist for changing Python's grammar

As part of a bit of hacking on CPython, I'm looking at playing with the grammar. In the source tree, Grammar/Grammar, there's a note advising me to follow the steps in PEP 306, but PEP 306 says it's been moved to the dev guide. Should the source comment be changed to point to https://docs.python.org/devguide/grammar.html ? Or is there a better canonical location for the dev guide? ChrisA

The link you found is the right one and the comment in the grammar file is out of date.
