Just been looking at the download statistics for my Plone themes via PyPi. I’m not sure how they should be read or if they’ve been skewed by me doing various tests, but they’re quite interesting:
| Theme name | Egg downloads (.egg) | Source downloads (.tar.gz) |
|---|---|---|
| Hamnavoe | 71 | 5 |
| Simplicity | 59 | N/A |
| Andreas02 | 15 | 13 |
I recently updated the source download for Hamnavoe which explains the discrepancy between Egg and source downloads for that theme, but in general it seems that the Eggs are the clear winners, which is due, I assume, to the themes being installed via buildout rather than direct download and installation via setup.py. Simplicity doesn’t even include a source download. I think this was to due to the fact that this was the first product I’d uploaded to PyPi and was having problems uploading it via setup.py from my Windows laptop, so I did the upload manually via the PyPi website.
I’m glad to see they’re being downloaded at all, and particularly pleased to see Hamnavoe on top as it’s my own design
As far as I know I can’t get these kind of stats for downloads via plone.org.
