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?). -n -- Nathaniel J. Smith -- https://vorpus.org

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

Good point. I wonder if there's any way to take that into account when considering whether to drop versions. On Sat, 8 Sep 2018 at 15:14, Nathaniel Smith <njs@pobox.com> wrote:

There are probably a LOT of Windows users getting numpy from conda as well. (I know my CI's and users do...) It'd be nice if there was some way to track real usage! -CHB On Sat, Sep 8, 2018 at 3:44 PM, Charles R Harris <charlesr.harris@gmail.com> wrote:

In addition to this, at least half the Windows-using Python people in my social circle of switched to Windows Subsystem for Linux, which is quite good now.
