[Python-Dev] RELEASED Python 2.6a2 and 3.0a4

Fri Apr 4 22:07:07 CEST 2008

Hi, something doesn't work as usual, at least for me:
When I try to download the Python 2.6a2 release for Windows by clicking
 * Windows x86 MSI Installer (2.6a2)
 <http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6/python-2.6a2.msi> (sig)
 <http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6/python-2.6a2.msi.asc>
instead of the usual download dialog I get an
Error 404: File not found
for the url
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6/python-2.6a2.msi .
The same is true when trying to download Python 3.0 a4.
Embarassed,
Gregor
