View Callable
A "view callable" is a callable Python object which is associated
with a :term:`view configuration`; it returns a :term:`response`
- object . It should accept two values: :term:`context` and
- :term:`request`. An alternate calling convention allows a view to
- be defined as a a callable which only accepts a single ``request``
- argument. A view callable is the primary mechanism by which a
- developer writes user interface code within :mod:`repoze.bfg`.
- See :ref:`views_chapter` for more information about
- :mod:`repoze.bfg` view callables.

View Configuration
View configuration is the act of associating a view callable with
configuration information. This configuration information helps
