In Section 1.2 "Python on Windows", the following links are incorrect.

Procedure 1.1, Step 1. displays "Download ActivePython from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePython/", but actually links you here: "http://www.diveintopython.net/Products/ActivePython/", which produces a 403 Forbidden error. The correct link is: http://www.activestate.com/activepython

Procedure 1.1, Step 2. displays a link "Windows Installer 2.0" which leads to "http://www.diveintopython.net/download/WindowsInstaller/Install/2.0/W9XMe/EN-US/InstMsiA.exe", which produces a 403 Forbidden error. The correct link is: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11176

Procedure 1.2, Step 1. says "Download the latest Python Windows installer by going to http://www.python.org/ftp/python/" but actually links to "http://www.diveintopython.net/ftp/python/", which produces a 403 Forbidden error. The correct link actually is: http://www.python.org/ftp/python
