Is there any plan for per-version/per-file stats? I notice that the current stat display is across all versions, which makes it harder to tell e.g. setuptools 0.7 uptake vs 0.6.
That information is available via the API in a total format (basically the
Donald Stufft <donald <at> stufft.io> writes: old download formats).
I think for someone evaluating the popularity of a package the new format
is much more useful. Obviously
there is more information that _could_ be displayed (with varying amounts of effort) but you run the risk of overwhelming the user with stats.
There's a lot more I'd like to do in general statistics wise geared towards different targeted audiences. There aren't exact plans right now as there are more pressing concerns and it needs to be done in a way that tells a useful "story" without overwhelming people with numbers.
Are you sure it doesn't "just work"? Vanity seems to work as expected now, I just cut a new release: aclark@Alexs-MacBook-Pro:~/ > vanity vanity vanity-1.0.zip 2011-04-14 980 vanity-1.1.0.zip 2011-10-26 771 vanity-1.1.1.zip 2011-10-28 744 vanity-1.1.2.zip 2011-10-28 775 vanity-1.2.0.tar.gz 2012-01-30 712 vanity-1.2.1.tar.gz 2012-02-16 761 vanity-1.2.2.zip 2012-07-31 474 vanity-1.2.3.zip 2012-08-08 523 vanity-1.2.4.zip 2013-02-19 249 vanity-1.2.5.zip 2013-03-18 252 vanity-2.0.0.zip 2013-05-26 3 vanity-2.0.1.zip 2013-05-27 0 vanity-2.0.2.zip 2013-05-27 2 vanity-2.0.3.zip 2013-06-28 0 ---------------------------------------------- vanity has been downloaded 6,246 times! aclark@Alexs-MacBook-Pro:~/ > vanity vanity==2.0.2 vanity-2.0.2.zip 2013-05-27 2 ------------------------------------------- vanity 2.0.2 has been downloaded 2 times! I don't necessarily care what is displayed on PyPI, as long as we have (roughly) the same functionality as before. Thanks for working on this!
