Well, absolute growth figures can be misleading. If number of packages goes from 10 to 15, there is a growth of 50%!! So, for a language like perl, which already has 10k+ packages, the numbers are still impressive. Even though I've not written a single line of working code in Perl, I'd like to acknowledge the power of time-tested perl code. I hope to get an opportunity in near future to explore the library-power of perl. Also, a lot of that 35.8% growth for Python comes from Zope related packages. Which is a good news/boring news depending on your love for Zope. Zopistas have been very positive and consistent in their action when it comes to good engineering practices like doctests, unittests and packaging. More power to them. Repoze project http://www.repoze.org is a must watch for those who believe in a WSGI future.
