Does pypistats include the downloads via Anaconda?

Hello Christopher,

I’ve just seen pypistats for the first time, it’s an amazing project. Thank you!

Do those download numbers include downloads done via Anaconda? I don’t know if Anaconda pulls directly from pypi or if they maintain their own sources

They're separate:

Although some of the functionality of conda and pip overlap (namely, the ability to install Python packages), they were designed and should be used for different purposes. Pip is the Python Packaging Authority’s recommended tool for installing packages from the Python Package Index, PyPI. Conda, on the other hand, is a cross-platform package and environment manager that installs and manages packages from the Anaconda public repository as well as from Anaconda.org.

Thanks. It's a shame that your page can't include downloads via Anaconda, as that represents a huge number of downloads. it may be a good idea to explicitly state that "Anaconda downloads/installations are not included"
