I don't know what all you guys are smoking with this half-cocked "routes" system. Personally it makes no sense to me. I started developing web pages by putting index.html in a folder, and if I visited that folder I would see index.html. Now I put an object in a nested dict, the framework finds it, and calls a method that happens to live in views.py instead of the class itself using something I can conceptualize as multiple dispatch.
If I click on a .txt in the filesystem the operating system knows to load it with an associated application, if I visit an object in Pyramid the framework knows to run an associated view method. Bam! I love traversal. Of course it's OK to be used to URL dispatch and Pyramid will accommodate, but do you remember when you saw that first list of regexps in some tutorial? URL dispatch and traversal both add a level of indirection between your URLs and your code. They are a tremendous conceptual leap from the bad but approachable old days of 'put a .php script in a directory'.
