There's numbers for different releases here:
http://www.python.org/webstats/usage_200705.html#TOPURLS

I'm mystified at the 3k+ downloads per day for 2.5.msi instead of 
2.5.1.msi, or the 600 per day of 2.4.2 (!)

ia64 version of 2.5.1 has 1054 hits this month, vs 36642 for the x86 
amd 2410 for the amd64
