* gh-91838: Use HTTPS links in docs for resources which redirect to HTTPS ↵Serhiy Storchaka2022-08-043-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | (GH-95527) If an HTTP link is redirected to a same looking HTTPS link, the latter can be used directly without changes in readability and behavior. It protects from a men-in-the-middle attack. This change does not affect Python examples.

* bpo-46502: Remove "How do I tell incomplete input" from FAQ (GH-30925)Mateusz Łoskot2022-01-261-122/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since, - Py_CompileString no longer allows to distinguish "incomplete input" from "invalid input" - there is no alternative solution available from the Python C API due to how the new parser works (rewritten in 3.9) - the only supported way is to manually import the codeop module from C and use its API as IDLE does, and accept its own complications it is desirable to remove this Q&A from the official FAQ.
