Thanks for the heads up.

A direct link to the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11073

and the github repo 
https://github.com/bommarito-consulting/pypi-research-data (still not 
complete with data, code or paper source)


Lots of interesting tidbits in that paper, for instance "Together, the 
four “deep learning” packages tf-nightly, mxnet-cu100mkl, mxnet-cu100, 
and tf-nightly-gpu use approximately 500 gigabytes of PyPI storage - 
nearly 25% of all PyPI storage". and "Table 19: Number of unique 
importing packages by top-level package import" which shows the number 
of import statements in new releases over time - seeing the change in 
emphasis between NumPy vs. django.
