Comment on The first stable release of PyPy3parent

Comments

Actually, the majority of PyPI packages are python-3 compatible. For a status overview, see http://python3wos.appspot.com/

That's not what that site is saying.

For my PyCon Russia talk, I pulled down the data for all 44,402 packages (as of May 31). 13.5% of all packages on PyPI support some version of Python 3. 75.5% of the top 200 packages by download count claim to support some Python 3 version (according to their setup.py classifiers). Additionally, 64% of the top 500 support some Python 3 version.

Another interesting thing I saw was that of those 44K packages, 44% of them have seen a release within the last 12 months (representing 82% of the last month's download share), and 22% of those packages released in the last year support some version of Python 3.
