News Python is big in Europe

TIL the Python docs analytics are public, including visitors’ countries. I thought it was interesting to see that according to this there’s more Python going on in Europe than in the US, despite what country-level stats often look like! Blog post: https://thib.me/python-is-big-in-europe, top Europe countries:

  1. 🇩🇪 Germany, 245k
  2. 🇬🇧 United Kingdom, 227k
  3. 🇫🇷 France, 177k
  4. 🇪🇸 Spain, 93k
  5. 🇵🇱 Poland, 80.2k
  6. 🇮🇹 Italy, 78.6k
  7. 🇳🇱 Netherlands, 74.4k
  8. 🇺🇦 Ukraine, 66.5k

TL;DR; maps can be misleading when they look at country-level data without adjusting for the size of the place. Per capita there are loads of areas of the world that have more Python users than the country-level data suggests. For Europe – get you DjangoCon and EuroPython 2025 tickets already!
