Describe the bug I went to ipaddress.com and looked up that the IPv4 addresses of py3readiness.org are 192.30.252.153 and 192.30.252.154. But when I ping py3readiness.org(using DNS 8.8.8.8), it resolves the domain to 75.2.37.224(Title: 电动志趣享 URL: https://112a73c207f15de3da4197372017d598.parkingchina.diandongzhi.com/?acct=144&site=cHkzcmVhZGluZXNzLm9yZw==)

Thanks for the report. I confirmed that the URL is bad. I don't know who actually maintains the py3readiness.org. Perhaps we should just remove it from the text.

@cheny0y0 perhaps try using ProtonVPN to see if it is reproduceable?

@OttomanZ No, it's not about accessibility or GFW(aka FangHuo ChangCheng). The correct IP address of py3readiness.org is accessible and can be successfully pingged. But it says “There isn't a GitHub Pages site here.”

Therefore I think it is hosted on GitHub.

@cheny0y0 Yeah you should see their Page hosted on GitHub, as far as I have heard the Internet Firewall of China is notorious. Great you figured it out, but I would still recommend using a VPN if you're in China.

In Europe, http://py3readiness.org/ shows a holding page because the site is no longer maintained (its repo is at https://github.com/chhantyal/py3readiness). So wherever you are in the world, the site is unavailable.

In any case, that website was made by a third-party, so all we can do is remove its link from https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/

I've edited https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/ to replace the two occurences of http://py3readiness.org/ with https://web.archive.org/web/20190910095247/https://py3readiness.org/, an archive from around the time the sunset page was created (September 2019).

@cheny0y0 Please can you close this issue?
