Automate updating the doc/version web page

Open kbukum1 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Documentation

The Python documentation and download pages are showing version 3.12.5 as the latest, but the official versioning page lists 3.12.4 as the latest stable release.

Docs Page: https://docs.python.org/3.12/#

Download Page: https://www.python.org/downloads

Versions Page: https://www.python.org/doc/versions

Request: Is it possible if the versioning page can be updated to the correct latest version.

Thanks for the reminder. The page is now updated. This is an ongoing issue because the updating of the https://www.python.org/doc/versions page, while mentioned in the release process PEP, is not yet automated in our release process and, thus, is often missed. I am transferring this issue to the release-tools tracker as a request to add this to the release process automation. It may be easier to restructure the web page to do so, which would be fine, IMHO.
