It properly took me to a page with the correct capitalization, which indicates it found the package in some way: http://pythonpackages.com/pypi/mysqldb?entry=1 However,…

I would love to include project activity in stackparts too. Sadly APIs are not always forthcoming.
May I suggest downplaying the downloads stat? I'm assuming you get this from summing up the downloads on pypi but it only sort-of correlates with usage. Many people with pip/virtualenv will download the same packages over and over as they redeploy. It also tends to favor old projects. I think a better metric for popularity would be a blend of activity in the source code repos, activity on mailing lists, wikis, blog p…
