Growth we measured
10 daily star snapshots stored by whatstrending.ai, 2026-06-25 to 2026-08-06. GitHub shows today's number; this is the movement behind it.
- Ranked #99 by stars among the 954 repos we snapshot, using the latest star count we recorded for each.
- Rank movement: #42 on 2026-06-26 (73,418 stars) → #43 today — down 1 place among the 169 repos we snapshotted in both windows.
- Its 10-day pace is faster than 21% of the 195 repos where we can currently measure one (#154).
How this is measured. whatstrending.ai stores its own daily star and fork snapshot for every repo in its trending index. Every figure above is a delta between two of those stored rows — 10 snapshots for python/cpython between 2026-06-25 and 2026-08-06. Our history starts 2026-06-19; we hold nothing from before that date. Nothing here is estimated, interpolated or back-filled, and days without a snapshot are simply not plotted.
Add the Trending AI Repo badge to your README
python/cpython is in the whatstrending.ai tracked index, so this badge already resolves. It is free, needs no account, and updates itself: the rank is recomputed from our stored daily snapshots and the image is re-fetched a few times a day. Clicking it lands on this page, which shows the star history we measured.
