Pypi have thrown out the downloads counter—a huge misservice to coders. Like I got all day to figure out the best libs for ten different features which I only need in passing, so my primary concern is to not pick complete garbage.
So, my solution to that now is to look up Github pages for the libs and choose the one with most stars. As much as I dislike Github for its occasional typical proprietary behavior, Gitlab doesn't help in this case.
- j88439h84 7y agoPypi still has a download counter, but it will tend to reflect which libraries are used in ci, so it's a biased estimate.
- aasasd 7y agoCould you please point me to the location of that counter? Because I ain't seeing it anywhere.
- detaro 7y agoafaik it's not in the UI, but the dataset is published and and access provided by other sites: https://pypistats.org/ https://pypistats.org/

- petre 7y agoPerl has stars on MetaCPAN and every version has a test counter. Download counter is unreliable.
