My experience has been the same; I've used twisted.web.client for years
now, in production applications, with no issues. That said, the original
poster didn't mention any special requirements that forced him to go with
mechanize; rather, the choice appears to have been made on the basis of
activity.
That said, there *is* a web2-based client, available from OSAF, named
zanshin. I haven't used it, but it is most certainly being actively
developed.
