Dataset Overview

• Total packages: 787,227
• Packages with data: 787,227 (100.0%)
• Non-empty packages: 690,830 (87.8%)

Schema

Column	Type	Description
name	string	Package name on PyPI
url	string	PyPI package URL
last_day	integer	Downloads in the last day
last_week	integer	Downloads in the last week
last_month	integer	Downloads in the last month
status	string	Whether the package has no download data (null, empty, valid)

Download Distribution Analysis

The following charts show the distribution of download statistics across all PyPI packages. As expected, the data exhibits a long-tail distribution where a small number of packages receive the majority of downloads.

Distribution Overview

Top row: Histogram showing the distribution of downloads on a logarithmic scale. The red dashed lines indicate key percentiles (P50, P90, P95, P99).

Bottom row: Cumulative distribution showing what percentage of packages have downloads below a given threshold.

Top Packages Comparison

Comparison of daily, weekly, and monthly download volumes for the top 20 most downloaded packages.
