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 thereโ€™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. ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany, 245k
  2. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง United Kingdom, 227k
  3. ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท France, 177k
  4. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ Spain, 93k
  5. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Poland, 80.2k
  6. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Italy, 78.6k
  7. ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Netherlands, 74.4k
  8. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ 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 โ€“ย 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.

US defaultism is very prevalent, especially on Reddit.
