Earlier today, I was guessing 1000000 Python programmers. I do not know 
how downloads translates to programmers, but I may have been a bit low.

Last February:
1 553203 0.82% /ftp/python/3.3.0/python-3.3.0.msi
2 498926 0.74% /ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3.msi
3 336601 0.50% /ftp/python/3.3.0/python-3.3.0.amd64.msi
4 241796 0.36% /ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3.amd64.msi

What has really increased are the amd64 numbers. I am pleased to see 
that the bug-fix releases get downloaded so heavily.
