List PyPI packages by popularity

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.

Solution

  • The Python Wheels site lists the top 360 most-downloaded packages on PyPI showing which have been uploaded as wheel archives.
