For a long time, PyPi intermittently reported extremely exaggerated download statistics and sometimes never even reported any statistics. Then they got bored of trying to fix it and removed it altogether, saying they want to concentrate on warehouse. I believe currently the only way to get any kind of statistics is to perform a query on Google's Big. Any attempt to talk about this issue results in the thread being locked and offended replies, and while I understand what it's like from the developer's point of view, the current state of things is completely unreasonable.
