List PyPI packages by popularity [closed]

Tags:

python

pypi

Is it possible to obtain a list of PyPI packages ordered by popularity (number of total downloads)?

I am unable to find a way to do this on PyPI. Perhaps PyPI provides a database dump for this purpose?

If I'm unable to find a simpler way, I plan to scrape PyPI using their JSON API.
