The current library tour in the tutorial is stored at: http://docs.python.org/tut/node12.html

Each of the chapters is consecutively numbered, so if a new chapter is inserted, hard links to a section of the documentation will break.

Pages named "node###.html" have never been considered to have stable names.
Such links should always be to the specific version of the Python documentation, not to the magical "current" directory.

Is there away to have the nodes named rather than numbered. Aahz likes to point directly at the floating point Appendix and is mess up his day when I add to the tutorial.

Yes, but it's far from "clean." I'll try to take a look at it tonight.
