I don't think it needs any action, except perhaps a half-polite response
that we don't intend to change anything.
a) if you are really sitting on the console of an OpenBSD system with
no X installed, use lynx, or any other text browser:
scroll down to "Source distribution", hit Enter
b) alternatively, and even better: don't build Python from source at
all. Instead, use pkg_add to install the Python version that you
want, downloadable from
ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/<rel>/packages/<arch>/python-<ver>.tgz
c) OTOH, if you had only connected to the OpenBSD system remotely
(e.g. through ssh), just use your local web browser, to either
* determine the full source download URL of the Python release
you want to build, then wget on the target system, or
* if your target system doesn't have wget, download it locally,
then scp/rcp/ftp it to the target system.
We cannot add an FTP URL to the download page, because we don't
run an ftp server anymore, and don't plan to.
