Popularity of Python packages in Debian: High !

Ara is an advanced search engine for Debian packages developped in the EDOS project (of which we are also taking part).

Out of curiosity, I checked today how many Debian packages were implemented in Python (this is one of the metadata that are searchable using Ara).

The result is: many! Python is a close second behind C, and way ahead other languages (including some who are supposed to eat Python for breakfast!).

C: 861
Python: 784
C++: 234
PHP: 192
Ruby: 127
OCaml: 124
Java: 59

(Warning1: these results depend on metadata that may not have been set up correctly for every package. Warning2: these number will obviously change over the time.)

Important announcement: Join the Nuxeo team and contribute to the Nuxeo project! We have open positions in France and the UK for open source Java EE developers and sales engineers, both junior and senior.
