Add support for Python libraries on framework.dev

[kenslachtajr]

Description

• Python is not supported out of the box and a research spike was conducted to determine the best way to add support for Python libraries on framework.dev. This ticket involves and adding support for comparing different Python libraries based on certain properties. At the end of this text you can see some suggested properties for comparison which we can use.

• Adding badges for Python libraries is an additional need for this ticket. We are able to make use of the the same properties in implementing badge functionality as well. Please refer to the original spike ticket for more context: SPIKE: Investigate fixing comparison tool #577

Python

PyPI is the official package index for Python, and there is also pypistats.org for download statistics.

Downloads can be retrieved from the following endpoint: https://pypistats.org/api/packages/[package-name]/recent

For Django (https://pypistats.org/api/packages/django/recent):

// GET https://pypistats.org/api/packages/django/recent

{
  "data": {
    "last_day": 394453,
    "last_month": 8557361,
    "last_week": 1963861
  },
  "package": "django",
  "type": "recent_downloads"
}

Other package information can be retrieved directly from PyPI via the https://pypi.org/pypi/[package-name]/json endpoint. For example:

// GET https://pypi.org/pypi/django/json

If you're just getting started,\nhere's how we recommend you read the docs:\n\n* First, read ``docs/intro/install.txt`` for instructions on installing Django.\n\n* Next, work through the tutorials in order (``docs/intro/tutorial01.txt``,\n  ``docs/intro/tutorial02.txt``, etc.).\n\n* If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read\n  ``docs/howto/deployment/index.txt`` for instructions.\n\n* You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in ``docs/topics``)\n  next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in ``docs/howto``) for specific\n  problems, and check out the reference (``docs/ref``) for gory details.\n\n* See ``docs/README`` for instructions on building an HTML version of the docs.\n\nDocs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think\nthey should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a\nticket here: https://code.djangoproject.com/newticket\n\nTo get more help:\n\n* Join the ``#django`` channel on ``irc.libera.chat``. Lots of helpful people\n  hang out there. See https://web.libera.chat if you're new to IRC.\n\n* Join the django-users mailing list, or read the archives, at\n  https://groups.google.com/group/django-users.\n\nTo contribute to Django:\n\n* Check out https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/ for\n  information about getting involved.\n\nTo run Django's test suite:\n\n* Follow the instructions in the \"Unit tests\" section of\n  ``docs/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests.txt``, published online at\n  https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/#running-the-unit-tests\n\nSupporting the Development of Django\n====================================\n\nDjango's development depends on your contributions. \n\nIf you depend on Django, remember to support the Django Software Foundation: https://www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/\n\n\n",

The above response retrieves GitHub repository URL, so this could be used to retrieve GitHub stars.

For framework.dev, we might consider:

• Last month downloads
• Classifiers / Development Status (all possible values are available here here)
• Classifiers / Environment (all possible values are available here here)
• GitHub stars
