Description

Problem

Python Mode files, required by the Contribution Manager, are currently found at:

For Processing 3: https://contribs.processing.org/pythonmode/3/PythonMode.zip
For Processing 4: https://contribs.processing.org/pythonmode/4/PythonMode.zip

This points to a backup Linode VPS that was spun up as a temporary fix. This is not a long-term solution.

Proposed solution

Deploy Python Mode to Netlify.

Research direction

Start by checking the existing Processing 3 and Processing 4 Python Mode URLs and locating the deployment configuration for their current Linode hosting. Verify how the two ZIP paths can be served from Netlify, then confirm both existing URLs work after migration and remain usable by the Contribution Manager.
