[Python-Dev] Typo in PEP-0423

Well, this looks like a rhetorical question :)

As I am totally new to Python packaging and publication, I had no precise
idea of what I should get from this link.
So my guess would be https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/packageindex.html
(since I was expecting Python 2.7 resources, not 3.x, but I didn't mention
that before).

Let me know if you want/I am allowed to fix the link in the original page
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0423/>. I have no idea how to
contribute to these repo too :)

Thanks,
Tim
