Python interface to PyPI Stats API to get aggregate download statistics on Python packages on the Python Package Index without having to execute queries directly against Google BigQuery.
Data is available for the last 180 days. (For longer time periods, pypinfo can help, you'll need an API key and get free quota.)
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pypistats
git clone https://github.com/hugovk/pypistats
cd pypistats
python3 -m pip install .
Run pypistats with a subcommand (corresponding to
PyPI Stats endpoints), then options for that
subcommand.

To use with either NumPy or pandas, make sure they are first installed, or:
pip install --upgrade "pypistats[numpy]"
pip install --upgrade "pypistats[pandas]"
pip install --upgrade "pypistats[numpy,pandas]"
Return data in a NumPy array for further processing:
import pypistats
numpy_array = pypistats.overall("pyvista", total=True, format="numpy")
print(type(numpy_array))
# <class 'numpy.ndarray'>
print(numpy_array)
# [['with_mirrors' '2019-09-20' '2.23%' 1204]
# ['without_mirrors' '2019-09-20' '2.08%' 1122]
# ['with_mirrors' '2019-09-19' '0.92%' 496]
# ...
# ['with_mirrors' '2019-10-26' '0.02%' 13]
# ['without_mirrors' '2019-10-26' '0.02%' 12]
# ['Total' None None 54041]]
Or in a pandas DataFrame:
import pypistats
pandas_dataframe = pypistats.overall("pyvista", total=True, format="pandas")
print(type(pandas_dataframe))
# <class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
print(pandas_dataframe)
# category date percent downloads
# 0 with_mirrors 2019-09-20 2.23% 1204
# 1 without_mirrors 2019-09-20 2.08% 1122
# 2 with_mirrors 2019-09-19 0.92% 496
# 3 with_mirrors 2019-08-22 0.90% 489
# 4 without_mirrors 2019-09-19 0.86% 466
# .. ... ... ... ...
# 354 without_mirrors 2019-11-03 0.03% 15
# 355 without_mirrors 2019-11-16 0.03% 15
# 356 with_mirrors 2019-10-26 0.02% 13
# 357 without_mirrors 2019-10-26 0.02% 12
# 358 Total None None 54041
#
# [359 rows x 4 columns]
For example, create charts with pandas:
# Show overall downloads over time, excluding mirrors
import pypistats
data = pypistats.overall("pillow", total=True, format="pandas")
data = data.groupby("category").get_group("without_mirrors").sort_values("date")
chart = data.plot(x="date", y="downloads", figsize=(10, 2))
chart.figure.show()
chart.figure.savefig("overall.png") # alternatively
# Show Python 3 downloads over time
import pypistats
data = pypistats.python_major("pillow", total=True, format="pandas")
data = data.groupby("category").get_group(3).sort_values("date")
chart = data.plot(x="date", y="downloads", figsize=(10, 2))
chart.figure.show()
chart.figure.savefig("python3.png") # alternatively
