Description
There's now a broken link on this page of the module index in the Python SDK docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray-sdk-for-python/latest/reference/aws_xray_sdk.core.html#module-aws_xray_sdk.core
The link _'tcp:127.0.0.1:2000'_ appears to be unintentional, and is being generated from the comment for class DaemonConfig here: https://github.com/aws/aws-xray-sdk-python/blob/master/aws_xray_sdk/core/daemon_config.py
**Doc source from code:**
class DaemonConfig(object):
"""...
A notation of '127.0.0.1:2000' or 'tcp:127.0.0.1:2000 udp:127.0.0.2:2001'
are both acceptable. The former one means UDP and TCP are running at
the same address.
...
"""
**Resulting HTML output in SDK docs:**
A notation of ‘127.0.0.1:2000’ or ‘\tcp:127.0.0.1:2000\<\/a\> udp:127.0.0.2:2001’ are both acceptable. The former one means UDP and TCP are running at the same address.
**Potential fixes:**
This class file hasn't been changed in over two years, so my best guess is that the doc generator is the source of the issue. I'm not sure of the appropriate fix; whether there's a way to escape the comment in the code somehow, or to modify the SDK doc generator to avoid this in future.
