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.
