Yes, this is ancient, I've been putting off dealing with it because I couldn't figure out who should handle it. At this point, I think that if anyone does it should be the release team, therefore I'm forwarding to python-dev. Feel free to tell me I made the wrong choice. ;-)
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//packages//python-.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.
