Package: ego-boost
This package 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 dump
date,python-amazon-product-api,python-weewar
2010-07-10,8742,2807
2010-07-11,0,2807
...The same can be achived by using the interactive console:$ ego-boost
> collect python-weewar-monitor bb:basti/python-weewar-monitor
Fetching data from http://bitbucket.org/basti/python-weewar-monitor...
> quit
Bye.CommandsOnce installed, you can use binaryego-boostwith 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 arePyPI (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!dumpwill aggregate download statistics per package per date and print CSV data to
stdout.export FILEwill export all data into a single JSON file. This can later be imported
again. IfFILEis-, output will be redirected to stdout.import FILE [FILE...]will import one or more JSON files into the data base. Inside the interactive
console you can use wildcards, too.InstallationSimply usepip installego-boost(oreasy_installego-boostfor those
of you that still have to discover the superiority ofpip). You can also
download the source fromPyPIand
runpython setup.py installin 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

# ...TODOsMake code available on bitbucket (or similar).Some graphics would be nice!Support for more sources (if there is interest).Usecmdln <http://code.google.com/p/cmdln/.If you have any questions, suggestions, comments, improvements etc. pleaseemail
