How much of that is because of the default download on python.org ?

Also % seem swapped depending on python2 vs Python3, and quite different.

Python 3
190466   win_amd64  ~ 60%
275949   win32

Python 2
3139051 win32  ~ 87%
463554   win_amd64

-- 
M



SELECT
  COUNT(*) AS downloads,
  REGEXP_EXTRACT(file.filename, r"(win32|win_amd64)\.whl") as windows_bitness,
  REGEXP_EXTRACT(details.python, r"(^\d)") as  python
FROM
  TABLE_DATE_RANGE( [the-psf:pypi.downloads], TIMESTAMP("20170119"),
TIMESTAMP("20170126") )
WHERE
  REGEXP_EXTRACT(file.filename, r"(win32|win_amd64)\.whl") <> 'null'
GROUP BY
  windows_bitness, python
ORDER BY
  python DESC, downloads DESC
LIMIT
  1000
