Short of a bug tracker for errors on python.org I'm using this bug
tracker to support some problems.

http://www.python.org/dev/process/
"Documenting Python" still mentions LaTeX as the system for
documentation of Python.

http://www.python.org/dev/implementations/
"Python for .NET" is either describing a totally different project or
the author of the chapter didn't understand the design goals of Python
for .NET written by Brian Lloyd. It's a bridge between CPython and
.NET/Mono that allows developers to use CPython code and C extensions in
.NET or .NET assemblies in CPython. Compiling Python code to CLR / IL
byte code is not the intention of the project.
The project homepage is wrong (http://pythonnet.sourceforge.net/) and
the project is still maintained. I myself has fixed several bugs this
summer and ported it to Python 2.5, Python 2.6, UCS-4 builds of Python
and Mono.

Fixed in revisions 11114 and 11115 of the pydotorg repository.

BTW, what's the best way of reporting bugs in python.org?

[birkenfeld]

It used to be the tracker at http://pydotorg.python.org/, but the
PythonWebsiteCreatingNewTickets Wiki page says it's disabled...
