Analytics.python.org: analytics for many python.org websites (original) (raw)

This is just a quick PSA: analytics.python.org has recently been expanded to collect analytics for several more websites, and, thanks to Jacob, now has a user-friendly dashboard to list all of them! All of the collected data is public for your bemusement;-) The complete list is now:

• python.org
• blog.python.org
• docs.python.org
• devguide.python.org
• peps.python.org
• packaging.python.org
• translations.python.org

An interesting thing I’ve noticed: devguide.python.org should really be versions.python.org, since that’s where 70% of its visitors end up!

I’ve been thinking that the devguide is the wrong place for the versions info.

It is a useful info to the general users of Python, not just the contributors of Python (the main audience of the devguide).

The info is also displayed at Downloads now. There’s endoflife.date; for a different audience there’s Buildbot bashboard.
Is there an even better place for it?

The devguide is not the best place to display the info (to general users), but IMO it’s reasonable to maintain it there.

With a link to the devguide versions page. Maybe that’s why “that’s where 70% of its visitors end up”.
