It would be great if:
- it sorted searches by GitHub starts (otherwise for any popular thing, you get first tons of stuff, in a non-relevant order),
- for PyPI, there is also anther figure of merit, i.e. no of downloads (most are open source, but some are on other repositories),
- in general, for Python it misses some very popular packages... for example, http://libraries.io/search?q=networkx http://libraries.io/search?q=networkx is from PyPI but not from Python (why?).
Otherwise, a very needed idea! I wanted to do my own some time ago (http://pypi.meteor.com/ http://pypi.meteor.com/), but didn't have time to bring it to a useful (or nice) version.

- andrewnez 12y agoYou can sort by stars, there's just not a UI yet: http://libraries.io/search?order=desc&sort=stars http://libraries.io/search?order=desc&sort=stars Pypi is lacking in information but I'm working on pulling it from other sources to improve the quality for Python libraries.
- stared 12y agoFor PyPI it is rather straightforward to get downloads information: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21419009/json-api-for-pypi-how-to-list-packages http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21419009/json-api-for-pyp... (along with some other data, e.g. categorization). See example: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/seaborn/json https://pypi.python.org/pypi/seaborn/json
