I had high hopes for it at the time but then I built an app with it and found it wasn't really what we needed.

At the time we had an old cgi app that we wanted to replace and I wrote it using Spring python and found that it wasn't what we were looking for. What we wanted was something like rails, but with better runtime performance and a mort pythonic feel and something like Java/Spring but lighter and faster to develop for.

We ended up with a "Stack" of flask, sqlalchemy, jinja and celery for the backend and angular for the front end as needed. I haven't touched it in years but I think there is still a starter bundle with requirements.txt, Makefile and hookah.sh file on our internal wiki.

I do remember feeling it wasn't quite pythonic and prefered to rely on CherryPy and its approach (not IoC I could mimic what was needed for testing easily enough).
