1.3 Doc "views" link from module index broken.

[danny@…]

On the documentation page "​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/py-modindex/#v" the links to views leads to a 404.

[Kevin Brolly]

Confirmed,

The particular links that 404 are:

​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/views/
​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/class-based-views/generic-date-based/

The link is also broken in the docs for Django 1.4 but no longer in the docs for Django 1.5.

The code used for building the docs can be found there: ​https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/blob/master/docs/management/commands/update_docs.py

I've searched a bit and can't find an obvious error that would lead to the issue.

My current suspicion is that some pyc files aren't getting cleaned up between successive builds, leading to nonexistent modules being included in the modindex.

I will try and investigate further.

I managed to reproduce the issue on a local install of djangoproject.com.

To fix it, I tried adding a git clean -fdx after that line: ​https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/blob/master/docs/management/commands/update_docs.py#L185.

Unfortunately that didn't change anything.

I did confirm however that the issue is not present if one only builds the 1.4 version of the doc (I tested this by deleting all the other "document release" objects in the admin).

My conclusion is that something is leaking between the different builds, but I can't figure out what it is.
