What is this Python project?
A pure Python CLI to view projects' download statistics. The supported fields are: project, version, pyversion, percent3, percent2, impl, impl-version, openssl, date, month, year, country, installer, installer-version, setuptools-version, system, system-release, distro, distro-version, and cpu. You can specify how many days in the past to consider or supply a custom date range. Custom ordering and where clauses are also supported.

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/vanity
This uses an outdated (and not guaranteed to work) method of collecting statistics (by scraping PyPI). Also, it can only get the download counts.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypi-download-stats
This requires users to write their own queries. It depends on a deprecated library to interface with BigQuery https://github.com/google/google-api-python-client/#library-maintenance. Also, the package depends on https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh which requires a complicated installation of NumPy and its scientific libs, and Tornado and its web server.
Both are GPL'd unfortunately while PyPInfo is licensed under MIT.
