New submission from Edison Abahurire <abahedison1 at outlook.com>:

These links in the deprecation warning on some Python 2 stdlib libraries documentation pages pointing to Python 3 alternatives return 404s. 

The link behind the words "Python documentation for the current stable release."

Examples:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/cgihttpserver.html
https://docs.python.org/2/library/basehttpserver.html
https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html
https://docs.python.org/2/library/httplib.html
https://docs.python.org/2/library/cookie.html

The current methodology used is to replace the `2` with a `3` when making a new url and the challenge is that some libraries names changed.
