Broken link

[linajandren]

The link for matplotlib.pyplot near the top of the page is broken. The link points to https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.html#module-matplotlib.pyplot but this gives me a page not found error. I'm not certain where the link should point, perhaps https://matplotlib.org/stable/tutorials/introductory/pyplot.html ?

Thanks for letting us know! I think the link in Episode 9 (http://swcarpentry.github.io/python-novice-gapminder/09-plotting/index.html) used to go to a page like this: https://matplotlib.org/3.5.3/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.html but I prefer your link as a more durable URL that provides a nicer overview of matplotlib as opposed to an API landing page 😅 .

We'd welcome a PR to correct the link in episode 9, it'd be good to adjust all of those similar links if possible. I counted at least 4 of them there from a cursory grep. That matplotlib page is linked twice, once early on in the summary and again when introducing plotting via pandas dataframes, probably that second one could go away..?

• tick_params -> https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axes.Axes.tick_params.html
• savefig -> https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.savefig.html

Hi @alee, I recently completed my Instructor Training and I am looking for issues that need to be fixed. Do you still need a hand with this? If I understand correctly, the PR would have updated links. Any other than the three discussed (matplotlib, tick_params, savefig)?

[alee]

Absolutely, I don't believe anyone else has put forward a PR or indicated they are up for working on this. Thanks @vhmcck !

Thanks, @alee! I will go through the links and update them as necessary. I will let you know when I have submitted the PR with these changes.

Hi @alee, Just submitted a PR with my attempt at the second draft. Let me know what you think!
