Add PyPI button #26

Closed nomicode closed 10 years ago

nomicode commented 10 years ago

This patch adds two PyPI buttons.

One displays the latest version number, and the other displays downloads.

This patch adds a PyPI button that displays the latest version number.

Can you take the downloads button out? Unfortunately the value is not useful, because it includes requests sent from various automated pypi mirroring scripts.

nomicode commented 10 years ago

I can. But before I do. Would it not be fair to say that this skews all PyPI packages equally, and so while not directly corresponding to downloads, the number is still indicative?

Give me the word and I will proceed to remove.

sbp commented 10 years ago

Yeah it does, but it's also a bit misleading to people who don't know that. Also, it's rather like the old "number of times this page viewed" buttons from peak web. I like the other pypi button though. So yeah, please hoick out the downloads one.

nomicode commented 10 years ago

Done, squashed, and updated the PR description.
