collection of various tools written to help analyze the Python Package index (PyPi). at some point i'll add a link here to the project page on my website that will show all the pretty graphics and stuff yay ^_^

-- ap
  -- db.py # database related stuff
  -- buidler.py # tools to build/resync the pypi-json database with PyPi
  -- config.py # config variables
  --> utils # utility functions that may be reused
    -- peeper.py # tool to extract requirements from tarballs/zips
  --> analysis # various collections of tests to run against data in pypi-json
    -- authors.py
    -- releases.py
    -- classifiers.py

stuff that we should look at to do things

• staleness
• how stale are packages? (is most recent release old) [✔]
• are there stale packages with high recent downloads?
• authors
• number of authors contributing to more than 1 package etc [✔]
• how many packages attribute multiple authors [✔]
• how many packages attribute orginization
• what are author email tld's? (.gov, .edu, etc...) [✔]
• requirements
• link network between all current releases of packages! (using the requirement extractor on tarballs)
• what are the most used requirements? (seriously what is actually the most used package)
• packages
• naming schemes
• sub-ecosystems (e.g. how many packages use the django-/flask- or django./flask. prefix)
• what licenses do people use? (connected to classifiers as well?)
• classifiers
• what are the most popular classifiers [✔]
• does more classifiers == more downloads?
• how do people use the version classifiers
• what license do people use?
• releases
• average time between releases [✔]
• average size of releases (sdist vs. bdist)
• major version distribution [✔]
• URLS
• where do people point their download url to?
• where do people point their homepage url to?
• overall health
• how many packages listed have no info at all (i.e. dead json link) [✔]
• how many packages have no releases/urls [releases ✔]
• how many packages have no description/bad(?) classifiers/no homepage/no author info/etc
• makeup of index by version
• total sdist size of index/total bdist size of index [sdist ✔]
• total size of JSON index (more for us but w/e)
• total downloads this week/month across all packages [✔]
• total downloads ever across all releases/most recent releases [✔]
