...that contain “Django” in the package name.

  AND file.project like '%django%'

How reliable is that? Are there any well-known packages that don’t contain literal “Django” in their package names?

It does for sure miss some things. I love the simple queue library Huey. They have a Django module but it’s in the same package as their regular Huey code, so it wouldn’t show on this, but then again nobody knows how often that module is used. https://huey.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contrib.html#django

I was surprised by low popularity of celery alternatives

dramatiq- 342536 huey - 330942

only django-rq went to top 100

channels and dj_database_url, for example.

Great. I almost forgot about it.

I'll place an update

dj-database-url - 7573407

Djoser, most popular rest auth lib for drf.

Thanks, for notice, I really missed `dj` packages.

djoser - 750208, a little away from top 100

It’s probably not a good metric since Node/Express uses a more modular design but Express is downloaded more than 10 million times every WEEK.

Does anyone know what would be a good metric to compare usage sizes of different frameworks?

How about - the number of mentions on sites like Reddit and Hacker News?

That would mean almost nobody uses Java these days...

A lot of those have to be builds in test pipelines, would be interesting to know what percentage, I’d guess > 90%

That would mean those packages are probably deployed somewhere. That would still count as an awesome number.

Amazing work. The idea of grouping similar packages together makes this post way better and more useful than any similar analysis I've seen.

The article really should have mentioned

https://djangopackages.org/

Most popular Django packages can be found there.
