Hello everybody,

It's probably (most likely) not the best place to post this so please
excuse my annoyance.

Some time ago I made one of the projects I've been working on
available to everyone through Github.com and PyPi. There is seems to
be some interest in it -- according to PyPi download statistics last
version of the package was downloaded few hundred times. I was
expecting some feedback like bug report or feature request. I was
surprised that there was none beside one nice guy posting a patch to
fix a bug in it.

I'm not complaining, I'm far from it. I just want to understand what
is it making people to download every new version of your package and
not giving any feedback. Honestly, even "you suck" would be great at
this moment :)

Frustrated contributor

P.S. PyPi does not privide such details but I'm starting to suspect
all those downloads are made by some kind of Web crawlers that scan
PyPi database every day in search for new /updated packages. That
would explain everything I was wondering about.

You received one patch!
You may consider this much feedback.
I think that a certain percentage of the downloads are indeed some other web pages monitoring and aggregating such sources like pypi.

Honestly, do you give feedback to every program you are downloading and just taking a small glimpse at?

You may get more feedback here asking a concrete question about your project ;)

Kind regards
Cornelius
