It's actually fine to use it for production.  There's two servers that
are used commonly with Pylons, the one in Paste and the CherryPy
server (it's a one-line configuration change to switch).  The
generally recommended production deployment is using one of these,
with another HTTP server in front proxying requests back.  There's
lots of side-benefits to that particular setup, like hosting the
Pylons app alongside static files, PHP, etc.  But there's quite a few
people who serve directly from Python (probably more often using the
CherryPy server, though I don't really know the differences in a
production situation).

Anyway, mostly an aside for choosing a framework.
