Looking at https://pypistats.org/packages/numpy , it appears that August 24 was the last day when numpy had more Python 2 downloads than Python 3 downloads (maybe ever?).
Good news, it is about time.
Just out of curiosity, what happened after Jul 27, when the downloads
doubled?
It turns out the original version of the statistics aggregation program crashed constantly and lost tons of data. Donald Stufft rewrote it (using my library trio :-)), and deployed it on July 26:

So the old download stats are artifactually low, and from July 26 the stats are accurate.
Thanks for the link. It would be nice to improve the Windows numbers, Linux is still very dominant. I suppose that might be an artifact of the systems used by developers as opposed to end users. It would be a different open source world if Microsoft had always released their compilers for free and kept them current with the evolving ISO specs. Chuck
