Hi all,
could you change PYPI downloads number for not-uploaded packages from zeros to
real posivive numbers? For example, my projects download links are binded to my
website , and thus people see misleading zeros, e.g.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/openopt
Downloads (All Versions):
0 downloads in the last day
0 downloads in the last week
Or, even better, taking into account that some people install packages from subversion/git/etc repository,
invoke "+1" when someone runs "python setup.py install" (or "develop")
(provided internet connection is present)
The maintenance and development of PyPI is discussed on the Distutils-SIG.
Please bring your concerns there.

In short, if you want to have download counts, you will need to host your
package downloads from PyPI itself. There is no good way for PyPI to count
downloads from any other source.
What you might want to ask for instead is to have the download count not shown
when the packages are not hosted on PyPI. That would be a reasonable change that
I think the PyPI team would accept.
