I hope those before/after images are swapped, because it looks like it's added empty entries. Also, should this have deployed yet? I don't see any change on the live site, but maybe I shouldn't expect to - I really don't know. |

The problem is most obvious on the macOS page, which has a lot of releases listed with no files. For a downloads page, it looks a bit silly.
Most critically, this should hide the Python install manager releases from macOS and Source pages, as it will have no files. An alternative would be to hard-code its ID into the templates, but this way seemed better.
There might be a better way to check if there are no files, I'm not sure. And yes, this makes the
{% empty %}blocks redundant, but they're also harmless, and if this check is ever changed at least the page will still work.
