为什么 PyPi 不再显示下载统计信息？

Question

了解该软件包是否流行非常方便（即使它的流行是另一个流行软件包中某些 "import" 案例的原因）。但是现在不知为何我没有看到这个信息。

一个例子：https://pypi.python.org/pypi/blist

为什么他们关闭了这个有用的东西？

Answer 1

正如在 this mail.python.org article 中看到的那样，下载统计数据已被删除，因为它们没有更新并且很难修复。

文章作者 Donald Stufft 列出了这些原因：

There are numerous reasons for their removal/deprecation some of which are:

Technically hard to make work with the new CDN

The CDN is being donated to the PSF, and the donated tier does not offer any form of log access

The work around for not having log access would greatly reduce the utility of the CDN

Highly inaccurate

A number of things prevent the download counts from being inaccurate, some of which include:

pip download cache

Internal or unofficial mirrors

Packages not hosted on PyPI (for comparisons sake)

Mirrors or unofficial grab scripts causing inflated counts (Last I looked 25% of the downloads were from a known mirroring script).

Not particularly useful

Just because a project has been downloaded a lot doesn't mean it's good

Similarly just because a project hasn't been downloaded a lot doesn't mean it's bad

最近发现可以通过这个link.

查询贡献给PSF基金会的PyPI的Big Query数据库

我还写了一个 blog post 关于如何获取此信息的文章，如果你想看一看。

Answer 3

pypinfo 程序是一个 Python3 command-line 程序，可通过 pip 安装到 BigQuery。如果您设置凭据（一个 JSON 文件），您应该能够写：

$ pypinfo -d 1825 blist year
Served from cache: False
Data processed: 250.31 GiB
Data billed: 250.31 GiB
Estimated cost: .23

| download_year | download_count |
| ------------- | -------------- |
|         2,017 |        443,067 |
|         2,016 |        391,816 |
|         2,018 |         57,689 |

Answer 4

刚发布https://pepy.tech/查看某个包的下载量。我使用了 BigQuery 的数据，所以你会得到相同的结果:-)
