A comment on Python Wheels.

Where did they get the list of the top 360 packages on pypi? I tried to find it the other day but it looks like it was removed?

Also, the ordering on the right seems to imply they are in order of popularity on pypi.

Does anyone know where they got their list or if they are associated with pypi in some way?

It looks like they're querying the rpc interface for pypi and sorting by downloads:
