http://docs.python.org/lib/module-unicodedata.html has
a link to unicode database (second paragraph). The link
there is
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.html,
it's broken. 
The correct one is probably
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt
(there are lot of files in
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/)

Given that Python 2.4 uses 3.2 database, we should link to  

 http://www.unicode.org/Public/3.2-Update/UnicodeCharacterDatabase-3.2.0.html

As for 2.5 and trunk(both using 4.1.0 database), they're
linked to
  http://www.unicode.org/Public/4.1.0/ucd/UCD.html

Any comments?

I think the documentation should link to the new standard URL:

http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UCD.html

and then point out that Python 2.4 shipped with version 3.2
and Python 2.5 will ship with 4.1.

The links are actually already updated in SVN.
