Description
Broken link on Django settings page https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/settings/.
The last 4 words in the sentence "Note that the settings module should be on the Python import search path" are linked to the following page:
http://diveintopython.net/getting_to_know_python/everything_is_an_object.html
This link doesn't work and takes you to the diveintopython.net home page.
The correct link has a "www" prepended to the domain name:
http://www.diveintopython.net/getting_to_know_python/everything_is_an_object.html
I noticed this when the link to the same page on Stack Overflow worked but yous didn't. Stack overflow page with working link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/865911/is-everything-an-object-in-python-like-ruby
Another question: is this even the right link from that text?

Here's the right PR
I'm not sure I'm allowed to do that, but I changed the version to master, but it should be backported to other versions.

Hi,
It seems that the redirection in place on diveintopython.net (redirecting diveintopython.net to www.diveintopython.net) is broken and drops the whole path from the URL.
That's probably something which should be reported to them, but in the meantime, it should be enough for us to add the
www.to all links pointing there in our documentation (there are a few which you can find by doinggit grep diveintopython.net).As for whether this is the correct link to point to, I believe it is: that section explains what the import search path is.
Thanks.
