Unfortunately, that has a massive inherent bias, because there are
Python builds available in most Linux distributions - and stats from
those (like Debian's popcon) will be nearly as useless, because a lot
of them will install one or the other (probably 2.x) without waiting
for the user (so either they'll skew in favour of the one installed,
or in favour of the one NOT installed, because that's the only one
that'll be explicitly requested). It's probably fairly accurate for
Windows stats, though, since most people who want Python on Windows
are going to come to python.org for an installer.
