Oh, one additional tidbit of information- Most of the data is coming from 
parsing user agents, which means that the ability to get this information 
depends a lot on what is actually downloading the file. Generally most of the 
information is only available on pip (and newer pip versions added 
progressively more information). In cases where we didn’t know we have inserted 
(null) values (such as bandersnatch mirroring and not knowing what the “python 
version” is).

This means that you’ll often times see (null) values in fields, which just 
represents downloads using something where we couldn’t determine that 
information from.
