  ...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’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?
