Description
One task for the release manager (👋) for every pre-release (and the .0 final) is to manually edit https://www.python.org/download/pre-releases/ to point to the new one.
Instead, let's create
/downloads/latest/prereleaseto redirect to the latest pre-release available.For example:
downloads/latest/prerelease->/downloads/release/python-3150a2/In the ~one week period when 3.x.0 has just been released and 3.x+1.a1 is not out yet:
/downloads/latest/prerelease->/downloads/This PR also updates the
download-banneranddownloads-active-releasesboxes in the test data to match production, for easier testing, and then to use the new redirects in these places:After merge, I'll update:
