For what it's worth in terms of "production-ready", pecan is mostly just webob
under the hood, and has been used pretty extensively at DreamHost in
high-traffic environments (we use pecan to handle *all* customer signups for
our entire product line at DreamHost). Not to mention the other major
OpenStack projects that are already making use of it or are in the process of
switching (Ceilometer, Ironic, Neutron)...
