This is probably not the best list for asking such a question, but 
having said that this 
http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.co.uk/2009/06/dont-need-no-stinking-rules-engine.html 
makes an interesting read.  There's another useful link here

As for PyKE maybe it's so good it doesn't need maintaining, I just don't 
know?  I'd certainly prefer using something that's got past a 1.0 
release, as opposed to a new project that looks active at (say) 0.3 and 
is dead before 0.5.

What else if anything have you found by searching?  I tend to find that 
trying packages from the first hits to compare them is really easy. 
Just use "pip install xyz" and away you go, especially when testing 
small snippets from the interactive interpreter.
