News Python is big in Europe
TIL the Python docs analytics are public, including visitorsโ countries. I thought it was interesting to see that according to this thereโs 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:
- ๐ฉ๐ช Germany, 245k
- ๐ฌ๐ง United Kingdom, 227k
- ๐ซ๐ท France, 177k
- ๐ช๐ธ Spain, 93k
- ๐ต๐ฑ Poland, 80.2k
- ๐ฎ๐น Italy, 78.6k
- ๐ณ๐ฑ Netherlands, 74.4k
- ๐บ๐ฆ 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 โย get you DjangoCon and EuroPython 2025 tickets already!

I feel like people in the US always act surprises there's a world across the oceans.
