Analyze Python packages downloads & their GitHub Statistics

Visit Website
June 3, 2022 I found a couple of observations after analysing the top 1000 python packages & their download stats.

You all know the Pareto principle(80/20 rule) and we hear a lot that 50% of the world’s net wealth belongs to the top 1%, the top 10% of adults hold 85%, while the bottom 90% hold the remaining 15% of the world’s total wealth, top 30% of adults hold 97% of the total wealth. This disparity is way higher on the Python land(ecosystem). Let me share those numbers.

50% of downloads belong to the top 100 packages that come around 0.03%, the top 500 packages that come around 0.13% hold 81% of downloads, top 1000 packages that come around 0.27% hold 90% of downloads.

Mindblowing, right? 🙂

Whenever I do research which python package I need to use for a project I need to check multiple places to finalize it so thought of putting all those things in a single place. Inspired by http://npmtends.com.
