Last year (May 2007) I posted a blog about comparing different package repositories (http://baijum81.livejournal.com/20775.html).
The total number of packages in different repositories was like this: 1. Perl (11643) http://cpan.org/ 2. Python (2392) http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi 3. Ruby (1587) http://raa.ruby-lang.org/ 4. PHP (442) http://pear.php.net/packages.php When I read this thread I thought just revisit the repositories. Here is the new status: 1. Perl (12783) http://cpan.org/ 2. Python (3249) http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi 3. Ruby (1642) http://raa.ruby-lang.org/ 4. PHP (465) http://pear.php.net/packages.php Here is the increment details: Disclaimer: I am not a statistical guy :) #!/usr/bin/env python # May 21st 2007 perl1 = 11643 python1 = 2392 ruby1 = 1587 php1 = 442 # Jan 4th 2008 perl2 = 12783 python2 = 3249 ruby2 = 1642 php2 = 465 perld = perl2 - perl1 pythond = python2 - python1 rubyd = ruby2 - ruby1 phpd = php2 - php1 total = perld + pythond + rubyd + phpd print "Perl", (perld/float(total))*100 print "Python", (pythond/float(total))*100 print "Ruby", (rubyd/float(total))*100 print "PHP", (phpd/float(total))*100 # Output:- # # Perl 54.9397590361 # Python 41.3012048193 # Ruby 2.65060240964 # PHP 1.10843373494 Again, I am not going to any conclusions ;) Regards, Baiju M _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
