This does not change the API of a renderer. See

+- In an effort to combat a common issue it is now a
+ :class:`~pyramid.exceptions.ConfigurationError` to register a view
+ callable that is actually an unbound method when using the default view
+ mapper. As unbound methods do not exist in PY3+ possible errors are detected
+ by checking if the first parameter is named ``self``. For example,
+ `config.add_view(ViewClass.some_method, ...)` should actually be
+ `config.add_view(ViewClass, attr='some_method)'`. This was always an issue
+ in Pyramid on PY2 but the backward incompatibility is on PY3+ where you may
+ not use a function with the first parameter named ``self``. In this case
+ it looks too much like a common error and the exception will be raised.
