On the page http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/exceptions.html, if I
click on the link for secion 7.4
(http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/node83.html#try), I get an Error
404: file not found.

1.35, 1.29.8.6.
Closing the report.

Links fixed with a patch by Neal Norwitz in
Doc/tools/node2label.pl revisions 1.14 and 1.12.18.1.

This turned out not to be a LaTeX2HTML bug but a bug in our
own re-naming script that we use to post-process the
generated HTML (not surprising, but this was a question
earlier).

I'm marking this fixed but left open since this issue's
comments include a request for additional cross-references
in the language reference.

The page in question is '4.2 Exceptions'
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/exceptions.html

The line in question is:
See also the description of the try statement in section 7.4 
and raise statement in section 6.9. 

6.9 links to '6.9 The raise statement' 
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/raise.html#raise
which works fine

7.4 links to the now obsolete URL
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/node83.html#try
It should link to the current '7.4 The try statement '
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/try.html
or maybe?
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/try.html#try

Isn't this a simple update so that the 7.4 ref works like the 
6.9 ref?

PS. I would like also like references from 7.4 to 4.2 and 6.9

Was it a LaTeX2HTML bug or not?

I'll note that I think this is a LaTeX2HTML bug, but I need to spend some time digging into the \ref{} handling.  It seems to have other problems as well.  ;-(
