Removing pre-built PDF documentation from docs.python.org #139436
Description
Activity
Are there instructions on how to create the PDF documentation? I didn't find it.
I added instructions to the download page: https://docs.python.org/dev/download.html
You may need to force-refresh.

Thank you.
Have you thought about translations? Could the teams change the string to include something like "for xx_XX language access the team's page for..." I believe each translation team could provide these PDF files.

For reference, per PEP 545, this must be done for
bugs.po(although it is not always followed), it would be useful to have a better way and standardised way to do this, e.g... only:: translation(I proposed such in #137449).Also, I propose adding a note in the devguide that explains how to build a translation (see python/devguide#1660), since this is not covered actually.

Au contraire, d.p.o = docs.python.org :)
That said, no objection to disambiguating the title!
