pypi is a little function in my dotfiles for opening the PyPI page for a package, either pypi <package> or let it try and guess the name from the current directory:

pypi () {
	if [ "$1" = "" ]
	then
		local name=$(python setup.py --name)
	else
		local name=$1
	fi
	echo $name
	open https://pypi.org/project/"$name"/
}

The macOS/iTerm/Oh My Zsh command to get this list:

history | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq --count | sort --numeric-sort --reverse | head -30
