Also.
Fun fact.

As people might know, I maintain "pypandoc".

But did you know, that 'pypandoc' actually have 2 packages on PyPI?

The regular 'pypandoc' package that people typically install.
And then it also has 'pypandoc_binary' which comes with a version of pandoc packaged - so you can get started right away.

pypandoc_binary, for the first month, just surpassed 1.000.000 downloads in the last 30 days.

That's amazing news.
That means, that the total pypandoc project has been downloaded over 4.500.000 times over the last month.

That's amazing - I'm so honored.
