Links in this section from the docs from 3.9 and newer are currently broken.

https://docs.python.org/3.9/distributing/index.html#reading-the-python-packaging-user-guide

They are currently leading to a "page not found" error.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding to which links you are referring but I am not seeing any broken links in that section at the moment. Could you retry and, if so, list exactly which links do not work for you?

[douglas277]

The links are working now.

I recall that all of the links in that section pointed to different URLs on 3.9 and newer than they did on 3.8. On 3.9 and newer, you would land on "page not found" on readthedocs.org.

They all seem to match up now though.
