How many packages there are in PyPI

[Joaquin Abian]

Hi,
PyPI is reaching the 10000 package figure (In the case of 3.x only
about 140 packages and increasing very very slowly).

Looking at available packages for 3.x I observed that some packages
are listed several times. For example, lxml is listed 5 times.
Are these repetitions included in the package count? If yes, just out
of curiosity, somebody knows what the actual number of different
packages in the PyPI reservoir is?

Joaquin.
