That was the month of October. If people believe these numbers are real, we're doing great!!! On 12/8/06, Fredrik Lundh <fredrik@pythonware.com> wrote:

I looked through the python.org web stats (as I usually do when preparing for a keynote) and discovered that /ftp/python/2.5/python-2.5.msi is by far the top download -- 271,971 hits, more than 5x the next one, /ftp/python/2.5/Python-2.5.tgz (47,898 hits).
over what period ?
fwiw, I've seen a 2.5x ratio for my stuff over the last year; I've always assumed that most people on other platforms are simply getting their stuff from the vendor's standard repository.

2.5 was of course released in september, so I assume that part of what you're seeing is simply tinkerers upgrading their existing installations. plotting weekly figures for 2.4 and 2.5 over the last few months might give you a better idea of what the "sustained" download rate is, these days. (but we're definitely doing great. let there be no doubt about that ;-) </F>

I've noticed a similar thing, but I've also noticed that some distributions seem to like to offer old (sometimes by a year or more) packages that are known to not work with those platforms. - Josiah
