http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/module-curses.html links to http://docs.python.org/dev/howto/index.htmlcurses/curses.html as "Curses Programming with Python" but it's 404 Not Found. It may be that this link is broken in other Python versions, 2.5.2 is just the one I refer to for Ubuntu 8.04.

This is already fixed in later versions.

Does that mean it's policy not to correct documentation for non-latest versions? Fair enough. But perhaps http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/about.html should be changed to reflect that, and likewise on other non-latest versions, e.g. "If the problem still exists in the latest documentation, please report it".

Yes, we're only maintaining the docs for maintained branches, and 2.5 is now in security-fix-only status. I've clarified the "reporting bugs" document in the current docs now.
