# python-popcon

Get Debian [popularity contest](https://popcon.debian.org/) values for given

packages.

## Installation

```bash

$ pip install popcon

```

## Usage

The usage of this module is easy:

```python

>>> import popcon

>>> popcon.packages(['reportbug-ng'])

{'reportbug-ng': 323}

>>> popcon.packages(['reportbug-ng', 'reportbug'])

{'reportbug-ng': 323, 'reportbug': 75065}

```

The raw data (vote, old, recent, no-file) is also available, the sum of the raw

numbers is the number of installations as reported by `popcon.package`.

```python

>>> popcon.packages_raw(['reportbug-ng', 'reportbug'])

{'reportbug-ng': Package(vote=50, old=187, recent=86, no_files=0),

 'reportbug': Package(vote=5279, old=59652, recent=10118, no_files=16)}

```

Behind the scene popcon will try to use cached information saved in a file in

the ~/.cache/popcon directory. If the relevant file is not available, or older

than `EXPIRY` seconds (default is 7 days) it will download fresh data and save

that.

The cached data will be kept in memory unless `KEEP_DATA` is set to False.

## Command Line Interface
