readout

100,094 repositories are filed under Python — 45.8% of those that declare it.

218,700 of 381,021 declared · 57.4%. The rest carry no value for this field, so these shares are of the declared set and do not add up to the collection.

What you can do with it

Find a library by behaviour — Describe what you need; the package name is what you are missing.

Read the docs beside the code — Intended use, not a guess from a function signature.

See whether it is still worked on — The question people forget to ask until much later.

Check the licence — Carried with the repository, because it decides whether you can use it at all.

Filed to answer

Which library does this, in this language, and is anyone still maintaining it?

What licence is this package under, and can I use it in a commercial product?

What did the project intend this for, in its own documentation?

What are the alternatives to the dependency I am about to add?

A new record is a newly published repositorie. A revision replaces the text on the record that already exists rather than adding a second one, so the count does not double.

Where it stops

It does not run anything. This is repositories and their documentation read as text — not a package registry, an installer or a build.

Maintenance is read from what a project publishes. A quiet repository is not necessarily an abandoned one.
