Description:

At https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/external-pl.html, the link to PL/Py
is broken. Specifically, the link shown is
http://python.projects.postgresql.org/backend/, which redirects to
http://python.projects.pgfoundry.org/backend/ and returns 404. I don't know
what the correct link should be, if any.

I think PL/Py doesn't exist anymore.

Some digging turns up that James Pye renamed it to pg-python and moved
to github https://github.com/python-postgres/be but last commit was 4
years ago to add 9.3 support, so I guess we should just remove it.

(Meanwhile his Python driver continues to live.)

Re: Broken link in Appendix H.3

Removing the PL/Py entry sounds right to me.

How about adding plv8 (https://github.com/plv8/plv8) at the same time?

Yes, removal is appropriate. While I may satisfy a random urge to maintain
it in the future, I'd prefer to not encourage it as a solution.

This was already removed in the PostgreSQL 10 documentation.

Re: Broken link in Appendix H.3

I apologize for the goose chase, guys. I *meant* to be looking at the
current docs.
