I have no idea how many network developers there are in the world but: 1) Many people may be installing this from pypi as a dependency of some other application that they use. So you should think that it counts something closer to "users" rather than developers. 2) There are problems with the download counts on PyPI but the numbers above are sufficiently high that they should indicate a wide level of usage of the libraries.
