If the default view (see below) for your directory class just does a
redirect to 'index.html', and you register a view named 'index.html' for
it, that should work:  if there is an item named 'index.html', it's
default view will be served;  otherwise, the 'index.html' view.

A default view is just a view with the empty string for its name.  You
may be looking at it already, but the "Traveral Agorithm" docs explain
this in detail:


http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/narr/traversal.htm
l#the-traversal-algorithm

BTW, your application sounds startlingly similar to 'repoze.virginia',
and early proof-of-concept for the publishing logic which became
'repoze.bfg' and later Pyramid:
