Open doc/tutorial.qbk around line 1657 and read the Creating Packages section to determine what content the broken Python Tutorial link was intended to reference. Verify the proposed packaging.python.org URL, update the documentation link if it matches, and confirm the section no longer points to the 404 URL.

Description

The Boost Python Tutorial references a Python Tutorial in the Creating Packages section. The link to said Python Tutorial http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node8.html shows a 404 File Not Found page.

I don't know to which content in the Python Tutorial the Creating Packages section in the Boost Python Tutoral was referring to, but found a Python Tutorial on Packaging Python Projects under this url https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/#
