Have no fear, most of us are in the same position. We're working on
Pylons 1 applications now, and/or we're running 1 or 0.9.7
applications. Some of these we'll upgrade to Pyramid over the year
after release, and others we'll just keep running at the same version
until the app is retired. So among all Pylons users, that's a lot of
applications running in all three versions.

Pylons has been under development for five years. Most of the
production bugs have been ironed out. Only a handful of major bugs
have been reported each year since 0.9.7 was released three (?) years
ago, and few if any of these caused an otherwise-happy production
application to crash or misbehave. At worst a security vulnerability
is discovered, a new version of Pylons or Routes is released to fix
it, users upgrade the package, and nothing breaks. 99% of bugs and
difficulties occur during development or in the first month after
rollout.

The most common problem a few Pylons users report in production is not
bugs but memory. Some people have reported problems with cheap
webhosts offering 256M or 512 MB servers. Just use a server with 1 GB
of RAM and expandable, and you can avoid these issues.

Here's my current memory usage with five apps as reported by ps. The
first number is virtual memory, the second physical. Some of it is
shared between processes but it's hard to tell how much.

App 1: 475 MB / 175 MB (highest usage, large db records)
App 2: 279MB / 38MB  (small app, quasi-static pages)
App 3: 327 MB / 83MB (two big data structures in memory)
App 4: 471 MB / 116 MB  (large internal downloads)
App 5: 335 MB / 60 MB (most intense read/write db)
