@treyhunner @pganssle It goes back six months. You'll need to use BigQuery to go back further, or something like https://clickpy.clickhouse.com/dashboard/pytz
There's also monthly data at data/pytz-* in https://github.com/hugovk/pypi-tools
Remember line goes up, so you'd have to try and normalise against the "normal" exponential growth.
Does pypistats.org only go back a few months? Anyone know if there's a way to get the pypi download stats for a package going back years? Specifically I would like to see how the release of `zoneinfo` in 2020 affected the downloads of `pytz`.

*Words mean what people think they mean and there is no objective true definition here, but one definition has historical weight to it and feels more official as the definition doesn't originate from basically a mistake.
Periodic reminder that you should probably not use the words "bemused" or "quizzical" in your writing unless you don't care to distinguish been these two conditions.
The reason: "bemused" sounds like it means what "quizzical" actually* means and "quizzical" sounds like it means what "bemused" actually means.
Enough people know the dictionary definitions of these words that you can't confidently know if they are trying to mean the thing each word sounds like it means or the dictionary definition, and it's not usually the kind of thing you can work out from context, so best to use words that aren't halfway through a semantic shift 😉
