(And specifically on PEP A - I hear a lot of people say "check the top 10/20/30 C extensions", but I don't actually know what they are? Even just a list of them would be great! And I bet 10 of them are the ones included in CPython ;) )
While PyPI download stats have their issues, they're mostly sufficient for this purpose: https://hugovk.github.io/top-pypi-packages/
A dozen or so entries from the top 100 that include binary extensions:
- simplejson
- numpy
- lxml
- pyyaml
- cryptography
- protobuf
- pandas
- pyopenssl
- scipy
- psycopg2
- grpcio
- wrapt
- matplotlib
- pynacl
And some entries worth mentioning that don't show up in frequent download lists (suggesting something about the nature of automated CI environments for rich client GUI applications):
- sip
- pyqt5
- pyside
- pygobject
- wxpython
- pyobjc-core
- pywin32
Cheers, Nick.
