ego-boost is a Python module that will do nothing less than boosting the ego of any Python developer who has made packages available via PyPI. Finally, with one simple command and a cronjob you can track the downloads of your packages over time. Here is a simple example:
$ ego-boost collect python-weewar pypi:python-weewar bb:basti/python-weewar
Fetching data from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-weewar...
Fetching data from http://bitbucket.org/basti/python-weewar...
$ ego-boost export
date,python-amazon-product-api,python-weewar
2010-07-10,8742,2807
2010-07-11,0,2807
...
Once installed, you can use binary ego-boost with the following commands:
collect < package > URL [URL ...]
will collect download statistics from the provided URLs and store them under key package (which will later appear in the CSV data).
You can specify any number of URLs. Supported sources so far are
* PyPI (shortcut: pypi:)
* bitbucket.org (shortcut: bb:)
* github.com (shortcut: gh:)
Data is always stored for the current date. Subsequent data collection will not lead to falsely accumulated data for that day!
export
will aggregate download statistics per package per date and print CSV data to stdout.
Installation
Simply use pip install ego-boost (or easy_install ego-boost). You can also download the source from PyPI and run python setup.py install in the untared directory.
On one of my servers, I have installed the following cronjob that collects download statistics for all my packages on a daily basis:
# m h dom mon dow command
0 7 * * * ego-boost collect python-weewar bb:basti/python-weewar
