Ah, right, no, it doesn't.
For that, create a view.
import os
from pyramid import Response
def my_view(request):
here = os.path.dirname(__file__)
index_html = os.path.join(here, 'index.html')
data = index_html.read()
return Response(data, content_type='text/html')
And configure it in to your site as /:
add_route('home', '/', view='my_view')
Put a file named index.html next to the file containing the view.

Yes. It has grown over time. Suggestions welcome.
