FWIW you can make #python a link using either 
irc://chat.freenode.net/python (this will open the default IRC app, and 
I think Firefox even ask if you want to use a webchat) or 
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=python (for the freenode 
webchat).  If you are going to do it, it might be worth mentioning that 
the channel requires registration.

I agree with Victor that the network (Freenode or irc.freenode.net) 
should be specified.
Also the #python-dev channel should be mentioned (it doesn't require 
registration, so links are fine here).
