I looked through the python.org web stats (as I usually do when preparing for a keynote) and discovered that /ftp/python/2.5/python-2.5.msi is by far the top download -- 271,971 hits, more than 5x the next one, /ftp/python/2.5/Python-2.5.tgz (47,898 hits). Are these numbers real? (The byte counts suggest they are.) What could cause this dramatic popularity of Python on Windows? Does some vendor have an auto-install hook that installs Python whenever someone opens up their new computer? Or have we just hit the jackpot?
