Many of those 4.8K "users" might be using indirectly via some other dependency - I'm not sure how GitHub calculates "used by", but even if it were a direct dependency, one has no idea if it's actually being used or not. so I tend not to worry about such things. My distlib library has only 2 stars, and is used by pip and therefore by many developers every day, and yet it doesn't merit a "used by" according to GitHub.
I've had a few users contact me about the config library and they're happy with it and they find it useful, and that's good enough for me :-) On Sunday, 12 September 2021, 18:11:21 BST, Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer <arj.pyt...@gmail.com> wrote: Used by 4.8k but only ... 4 stars -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
