Link-checked every URL in the README and the sources. Three were dead:

URL Status Action
brendangriffen.com/creating-a-GUI-in-Python 404 Removed — the post is gone, not moved (absent from the site index and sitemap), so there is nothing to repoint to.
code.enthought.com/projects/traits/documentation.php 404 Repointed to docs.enthought.com/traits. Carried over from the original README.
markmail.org/message/z3hnoqruk56g2bje dead domain Removed from CommonMPL.py's attribution, keeping the credit to Didrik Pinte.

Surviving Enthought links moved from http to https. All 14 remaining URLs return 200.

The repository description, topics and homepage are updated separately via the API — the homepage pointed at the same dead 404.

Three URLs no longer resolve:

  * brendangriffen.com/creating-a-GUI-in-Python  -> 404. The post is
    gone rather than moved; nothing matching it appears in the site
    index or sitemap, so the reference is dropped rather than repointed.
  * code.enthought.com/projects/traits/...php    -> 404. Carried over
    from the original README; Traits documentation now lives at
    docs.enthought.com/traits.
  * markmail.org/message/z3hnoqruk56g2bje        -> domain is dead.
    Removed from CommonMPL's attribution, keeping the credit to
    Didrik Pinte itself.

The surviving Enthought links move from http to https. Checked every
URL across the README and the sources; all 14 now return 200.
