Unfortunately there's nothing that's pushed out to the general public.  There has been movement in that direction though, but it's slow moving.  I'll ping Stan Seibert, who is generally a good contact for this.

I wonder if the conda folks have some statistics?

I'm sure there is a better way that I don't know, but anaconda.org does post number of downloads of pacakges:




So you've got conda-forge, and anaconda (which I think is the "default" channel for conda and Anaconda users) and even an Intel version -- that's a lot.

But we have the CI problem -- conda-forge, for instance, uses CIs to build packages that depend on numpy -- so a LOT of those are downloaded to build other packages -- Im guessing that's why conda-forge has the most downloads of numpy (by a factor of 4) I suspect end users actually use defaults' numpy more.

You can also see downloads by file for a given channel:






Which shows that py3 Linux is the most popular -- but again, probably CIs heavily influence that.

Close-ish second is Linux py2.7, but 3.6 has 1.3 times as many -- so as the OP said -- py3 is seeing a lot of use!

Even stronger for os-x

I have no idea what conclusions to draw from any of this, but if someone can find an API to get this data, we could do more.

And I think there's an issue with Windows and py2.7 -- it doesn't show up at all (probably the whole openblas / old compiler issue). So we dont know the stats for 2.7 vs 3.6 on Windows.
