it to report those statistics on pythonpackages.com. AFAIK there is
currently no such thing. (I used to have a tool tip in place that explained
this; I'll put it back ASAP. crate.io has something similar in place IIRC.)

Perhaps instead of zero with a tooltip, you could just say "N/A" for
releases that don't list any files -- or just exclude the download line
altogether.

You do, after all, know whether a release has any files from its PyPI data,
so you do know the difference between "zero downloads" and "unknown
downloads".
