I wish there was a way to tell which pip installs were done by humans vs. by automated tools. It would be interesting to track what people are doing by hand vs. what machines are doing. I suppose that may be impossible to implement, though.

These graphs are very insightful. Thanks for offering us some visibility into the Python package download picture.

What would you classify as "by hand" and "automated tools"? Because commands like pip install -r {file} could be seen as both in my eyes.

By hand meaning "pip install -r {file}" or more generally pip with any arguments typed directly at the command line.

Automated meaning pip with any arguments run by another script.
