Supported Python versions
This one is generated from the list of classifiers you provide to PyPI.
If no Python version classifiers exist, it defaults to Python 2.7. This is because really, Python 3 is not widely used in production or supported by libraries.
Python implementation(s)
I think this one is really cool. Chances are you’re unlikely to get more than two supported implementations, like CPython and PyPy or CPython and Stackless.
The shield uses the Python implementation classifiers to generate this shield. It supports all classifiers that PyPI supports (CPython, Jython, Iron Python, PyPy and Stackless) and defaults to CPython is none are set.
Styling changes
This change is simply because of the upgrade of the shields library. This allows us to use the default rounded badges like below.
But also allow you to use a much nicer, cleaner, flat styling like the ones used on this page.
SVG > PNG
The final change is that by default pypip.in now returns SVG images by default, rather than PNG. You can of course get the badge in whatever format you wish.
