...that contain “Django” in the package name.

  AND file.project like '%django%'
How reliable is that? Are there any well-known packages that don’t contain literal “Django” in their package names?

It does for sure miss some things. I love the simple queue library Huey. They have a Django module but it’s in the same package as their regular Huey code, so it wouldn’t show on this, but then again nobody knows how often that module is used. https://huey.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contrib.html#django

It’s probably not a good metric since Node/Express uses a more modular design but Express is downloaded more than 10 million times every WEEK.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/express

Does anyone know what would be a good metric to compare usage sizes of different frameworks?

A lot of those have to be builds in test pipelines, would be interesting to know what percentage, I’d guess > 90%

How about - the number of mentions on sites like Reddit and Hacker News?

Amazing work. The idea of grouping similar packages together makes this post way better and more useful than any similar analysis I've seen.
