I found a new reference for the Komodo link and removed the console.py one, since the only other package using that name doesn't seem to use the cmd module. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Python Software Foundation http://www.python.org/psf/ http://www.malemburg.com/ ___ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www

intended edits: https://wiki.python.org/moin/CmdModule , homepage Please be more specific about your intended edits. Thanks, well the article is a disgrace, with 2 dead links. In what way do you intend to improve it ? why do you not autoremove all dead links ? Moin doesn't have such a feature, AFAIK. It's also not clear whether this would really help - often enough dead links can still be made to work by going via archive.org, so automatically removing them would result in loss of information. A better solution would be to try to make the link work again or replace it with an updated one. This requires editors willing to contribute their time. So what are you waiting for ?
