Thank you for the report Patrick! 

For reference this is on the lexical analysis page: 
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html

> A non-normative HTML file listing all valid identifier characters for Unicode 
> 4.1 can be found at 
> https://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/table-3131.html.


Looking at the page on 
https://web.archive.org/web/20200312045240/https://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/table-3131.html

it seems like it was just a giant table containing all the valid XID_START and 
XID_CONTINUE characters. We could just remove the link or point it to the 
section in the current unicode database we use 
https://www.unicode.org/Public/13.0.0/ucd/DerivedCoreProperties.txt
where it lists all the characters:

> # Derived Property: XID_Start

Would you like to make a pull request for this?
