The "print statement" entry in the libref index refers the user to

   http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/lib/types.html#l2h-92

The source (libstdtypes.tex):

   \ulink{\keyword{print} statement}{../ref/print.html}

suggests that the link should be to the reference manual.  Something's
fishy.  This was reported on comp.lang.python by
peter@monicol.co.uk.  His report was against the current doc, but
the problem still exists in the development version.

Just passing it along...

The output is okay. The \ulink you state does not add the
index entry, it's the \stindex one line above it.

But it's questionable whether this mention of print merits
an index entry. Fred?

I think it's reasonable.  It's about the fact that print
uses the str() function, so it's clearly about the print
statement.  This information is good to have linked from the
index, I think.

No need to change anything.
