The issue is that the 3.9 docs at https://docs.python.org/3.9/ are for 3.9.17 (the footer says when the docs were built: "Last updated on Jul 04, 2023"), but 3.9.18 is the newest version (released 2023-08-24).

In both cases, there are docs changes (committed 2023-08-22) for those two security releases:

@JulienPalard What do we need to do for new 3.9 and 3.8 docs builds? Can you trigger them manually?

(/3.10 is okay and has the latest 3.10.13)
