Neither downloads of PIP, nor packages in PyPI.

I was talking about versions of Python used to download packages off of PyPI (with pip et al).

As of 2014/1, those accounted for < 5% of the downloads, with 2.X being the rest:

Aaah okay, makes sense. I would like to see new stats though. It wasn't until Python 3.3 we started switching, before to many 3rd party libraries where missing.

Still I don't see much reason to not switch at this point. I don't believe that most developers would be missing anything.

Small note: We run our own pypi server for a large number of packages, so our Python 3 installations aren't counted for everything, but the same should be true for many Python 2 setups.
