Number of installations statistics for PyPI packages?

Question

I've got a couple of packages on the Python Package Index (PyPI) now. Is there any way to get hold of statistics as to how many times they have been downloaded (either manually or via easy_install or pip?

Or, alternatively, how many views the main package page has received?

Answer 1

There are at least two packages that help with this: pypstats and vanity. Vanity is very easy to use from the command line:

vanity numpy  

and you'll get a printout to your console.

Answer 2

Pip statistics is not available on pypi.python.org website and vanity package does not work as well.

Today you can get pip statistics only through this dataset in BigQuery: https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/dataset/the-psf:pypi

Query example for https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dvc package:

SELECT   details.system.name,   COUNT(*) as download_count, FROM   TABLE_DATE_RANGE(     [the-psf:pypi.downloads],     DATE_ADD(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), -31, "day"),     DATE_ADD(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), -1, "day")   ) WHERE   file.project = 'dvc' GROUP BY details.system.name 

Please note, some of the download signals are generated by monitoring tools and should not be counted as user's downloads. For example, you should exclude null values from the output:

Row details_system_name download_count    1   Darwin  1111      2   null    10000     3   Windows 222   4   Linux   3333
