Yes, I am doing this to make my job as release manager easier! It benefits the other RMs too plus hopefully you :)

Just got to delete a big 45-line chunk from PEP 101, the release process.

https://peps.python.org/pep-0101/

#Python #PEP101

A big red X over the following text from PEP 101, and it doesn't all fit in the alt text:

- If this is a **final** release:

- Add the new version to the `"Python documentation by version"
page <https://www.python.org/doc/versions/>`__ and
remove the current version from any 'in development' section.

- For 3.X.Y, edit all the previous X.Y releases' page(s) to
point to the new release. This includes the content field of the
``Downloads -> Releases`` entry for the release::

Note: Python 3.x.(y-1) has been superseded by
`Python 3.x.y </downloads/release/python-3xy/>`_.

And, for those releases having separate release page entries
(phasing these out?), update those pages as well,
e.g. ``download/releases/3.x.y``::

Note: Python 3.x.(y-1) has been superseded by
`Python 3.x.y </download/releases/3.x.y/>`_.

- Update the `"Current pre-release testing versions" page
<https://www.python.org/download/pre-releases/>`__.

- If you're releasing a version before *3.x.0*,
add it to this page, removing the previous pre-release
of version *3.x* as needed.

- If you're releasing *3.x.0 final*, remove the pre-release
version from this page.

Some more python.org updates:

We show a chart of supported Python versions at https://devguide.python.org/versions/ but that site is for developing CPython. So now it's also at https://www.python.org/downloads/

The "superseded by" had better styling, and added an EOL warning for older ones.

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-397/

When creating a new release in the admin interface, prefill the release notes link to something like https://docs.python.org/3.15/whatsnew/3.15.html for pre-releases and https://docs.python.org/release/3.14.4/whatsnew/changelog.html for full releases.
