It is interesting how this thread continues to press ahead
even after Doug himself has said "it seems best to treat

PyMOTW as a separately maintained resource and let users
find it separately".

The seems unequivocal to me.

Doug's in the awkward position that we're all kind of talking about him ;) If I was in his place I know I'd feel weird about it and kind of want to avoid the discussion; which would be fine, and it's fine if Doug feels like avoiding this discussion. If he's really bothered by it, or feels that inclusion of links would be a problem, okay, but I read his statement as meaning he didn't feel confident championing, or maybe even advocating, the inclusion of links himself. But people aren't advocating for those links on Doug's behalf either, the advocacy is for a perceived benefit to document readers.
