You probably have to add the downloads for /ftp/python/2.5/Python-2.5.tar.bz2 (31,492 hits) to the last number. Also interesting are the hits for 64-bit windows Pythons: /ftp/python/2.5/python-2.5.amd64.msi (23192 hits) /ftp/python/2.5/python-2.5.ia64.msi (22523 hits) > What could cause this dramatic popularity of Python on Windows?
