FAQ: What does category: null mean in pypistats python_minor? about pypistats HOT 3 CLOSED

There's some info upstream at crflynn/pypistats.org#13 (comment), which begins:

In my experience, the null fields in the aggregations of download records are mostly due to downloads made directly by the requests library, in lieu of using pip or bandersnatch itself or other dependency management client that wraps pip and/or properly sets a parsable user-agent header.

Cool. Thanks. Have you ever thought about using https://mybinder.org to add a launch Binder button to README.md that allows visitors to directly run pypistats? I have been experimenting with it at https://github.com/cclauss/library-of-congress-classifier-hack/blob/master/README.md

I've heard of it but not used it. I think between this tool and the online https://pypistats.org it might not be as useful as for other tools, but thanks for the suggestion!
