+ Settings control the runtime behavior of a Pyramid application.
+ They are the aggregation of configuration file declarations, process environment values, other additions generated by Pyramid or its add-ons and :term:`tween`\s, and values produced by your own code.
+ Settings are collected at application startup.
+ They can affect all the components which make up the the application.
+ Pyramid itself, any tweens or Pyramid add-ons used, and :ref:`your own code may reference <deployment_settings>` and act on settings.
