Here is a current snapshot of the bug.
Project: Python
Category: Documentation
Status: Closed
Resolution: Fixed
Bug Group: None

Summary: Subsection Hypertext Links are broken in HTML Docs
Details: For example load
ftp://python.beopen.com/pub/docco/devel/tut/node3.html
into your favorite HTML browser and click on the link labeled "1.1 Where
>From Here".
It doesn't work as it used to work before in the 1.5.2 docs.
Unfortunately I can't tell which change to the latex2html engine broke
this.

This is stil broken, and not caused by latex2html. If you render the HTML
without the python specific initialisation it works fine.
The problem seems to be in Doc/perl/python.perl. As anchor_invisible_mark
is set to emtpy string the <a name="SECTIONxyz"</a> gets optimized away.
Setting it to (the change comes on a newline before a <BR>, you
don't see it) seems to take away the problem.
A solution would be to not optimize empty <XX></XX> structs away if they
are <a name>. Since I now little PERL, I had no clue where to start for
that.
