Thanks for the report, I've made a suggestion for a fix at https://github.com/python/psf-salt/pull/518#issuecomment-2415999332.

In the meantime, you can see the pages at:

  • https://docs.python.org/3.11/install/index.html
  • https://docs.python.org/3.11/distutils/index.html

But note that these and https://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/distutils-sig/doc/ are both out-of-date. I don't think this SIG is active any more.

I’m not sure about the formal status of the SIG, but as a community with a mailing list, distutils-sig is now the packaging subforum on python dicuss and is very active
