Analysis of version adoptions on PyPI

⚠ This project has an issue : it relied on free access to Google Big Query but with the qty of downloads rising, a free access is no longer enough, so I bet the data will just become sparse.

pypi.org downloads by version

pypi.org downloads total

Where does the data come from?

We get publicly available PyPI download statistics on Google BigQuery using pypinfo.

Here is the repo for the open-source code pushing the pypi stats to BigQuery.

Usage

First you need to get an access to PyPI's BigQuery, by following pypinfo procedure.

Then there's two main invocations, first fetch the data using:

python python-versions.py --fetch

Then plot it using:

python python-versions.py
