@@ -6,14 +6,12 @@ A :term:`view callable` in a :app:`Pyramid` application is typically a simple
 Python function that accepts a single parameter named :term:`request`.  A
 view callable is assumed to return a :term:`response` object.
 
-The request object has an attribute named ``matchdict``. A ``matchdict`` maps 
-the placeholders in the matching URL ``pattern`` to the substrings of the 
-:term:`request` ed URL. For instance, if a call to 
-:meth:`pyramid.config.Configurator.add_route` in ``__init__.py`` had the pattern 
-``{one}/{two}``, and the URL at ``http://example.com/foo/bar`` was invoked, matching 
-this pattern, the ``matchdict`` dictionary attached to the request passed to the view 
-would have a ``'one'`` key with the value ``'foo'`` and a ``'two'`` key with the
-value ``'bar'``.
