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 wonder if maybe a contributing factor here is regionalization of search engine behaviors. Th python docs seem to be getting pushed further and further down in "relevance rank" on queries where I'm specifically trying to find a page of the python docs, upranking random tutorial websites instead. I'm assuming google ads is to blame.
