PyPI Download Statistics

Read Original

The article details a personal project to process PyPI server logs to gather statistics on package downloads. It aims to answer questions about user environments, such as Python version distribution (2.7 vs 3.x), installer usage (pip vs easy_install), and operating system trends. The author shares initial data samples, SQL queries, and the database schema, discussing caveats and the potential for making this dataset available to the open-source community for broader analysis.
