+The Pylons Project supports one official Pyramid cookiecutter `pyramid-cookiecutter-starter <https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid-cookiecutter-starter>`_.

+This is useful if you would like to distribute a customizable configuration of Pyramid to other users.
+Once you have created a cookiecutter, other people can use it to create a custom version of your Pyramid application.
