Dive Into Python 3 links in documentation no longer valid

[John Fitzpatrick]

It appears the domain registration for the latest incarnation of the Dive Into Python 3 site has lapsed, so the Django documentation links now direct to a domain parking page.

The most recent valid crawl of the site on the Wayback Machine is from earlier in October 2018, so this seems to have been a fairly recent occurrence: ​http://web.archive.org/web/20181009120324/http://www.diveintopython3.net/.

There appears to be another site that is mirroring the documentation, however I can't vouch for its reliability: ​http://getpython3.com/diveintopython3/.

John Fitzpatrick,

Could you please post the related django documentation links for reference ?

Hi — I encountered it when reading the index of the intro page, however I've just done a grep of all the documentation in current HEADof master and found six references in total:

intro/contributing.txt:46:__ http://www.diveintopython3.net/

OK, this is valid (​http://diveintopython3.net/ is not resolving properly.)

I pinged Mark Pilgrim to see if he could advise on the situation. (Let's see if he comes back.)

Thanks Carlton Gibson.

I’m not sure Mark is on the internet or involved in the Dive into… projects anymore. His Wikipedia page suggests ​http://diveinto.org/python3/ as the mirror to use, and this is functional as of now, so I'd guess go for that.

[Vishvajit Pathak]

Thanks for the update Carlton Gibson.
I think we should be updating with this link ​http://diveinto.org/python3/. As I see it as a best-legit option right now.
