It would be great if we provided a link from a documentation page back to the source file that the page is produced from, e.g. have https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/abc.html provide a link to https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.6/Doc/library/abc.rst. |
On the left menu, there's already a Show Source link. Or, are you thinking about adding a new link under the main heading, similar to |
Either idea works, but I want a link that someone who finds a spelling mistake can easily follow and submit a PR to fix the issue. |
Thanks, Brett :) I think it's easier to update the existing Source Link to github. I'll work on a patch for this. |
Hi, Not sure if the older docs versions should be updated too? In that case, I'll need to prepare different patches for 3.4, 3.3 and 2.7 |
Thanks for the patch, Mariatta! Once we have migrated to GitHub we can apply the patch (don't let me forget :) ). Any version still under active maintenance should probably be updated, so that would probably mean 2.7 but not the other versions. |
Thanks, Brett. Here's the patch that will work for the 2.7 branch. |
Nice idea. I agree with an updated sidebar link, both aesthetically and as a practical matter for doc maintainers. |
Now that we have migrated to GitHub and Mariatta is a core dev I'm assigning this to her. :) |
Thanks all :) |
