I use Pelican myself, and added a Disqus snippet for comments, 
you can also add facebook comments or another similar system.
If you want stats, you can install other systems like awstats, 
piwik, analytics or even cloudflare stats. Users may not be 
that easy, however.

I mean, of course Pelican is no match for Wordpress, and it 
depends on what exactly you want from your posting software. 
But it may be an interesting alternative if you know how to 
handle it and don't need everything WP does.

Few caveats: it is quite crappy if you want to use moderately 
complex text formatting (like using a table with color coded 
information), and if you want control over the resulting HTML, 
you may want to write a "fixer" script to work on the 
generated files. This is not really a problem with Pelican, it 
is more a problem with the reST->HTML conversion.
