#29877 closed Bug (fixed)

Dive Into Python 3 links in documentation no longer valid

Description

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/.

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:

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.

comment:7 by Carlton Gibson, 6 years ago

Mark's 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.

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.
