I've used apistar quite extensively in two different projects (one launched) and so far I like it. One disadvantage is you can't use wsgi middleware, but after rewriting our middle…

We use different files for "soft" requirements, dev/test requirements, and a freeze.txt containing all production requirements and then we default to installing from freeze.txt but…
