In January 2014 I've published an article about the popularity of Perl in 2013. In that article I've also included a number of Python sites as well. This year I've moved the Python part to this article and added a lot more sites.

As I don't have access to the logs of these sites, the second best approach I found is to look at the Alexa ranking of the sites. While it is far from being perfect it seems to have a strong correllation to what Google Analytics report. See the relationship between Alexa ranking and pageviews.

This year for most of the sites I only have the current ranking, but it can already provide you some insight. Next year it will be really interesting to see how each one of these sites have changed.

(www.web2py.com, turbogears, cubicweb, and pylonsproject were only added on 17 February with Alexa numbers from that date)
