root factory
- The "root factory" of a :app:`Pyramid` application is called
- on every request sent to the application. The root factory
- returns the traversal root of an application. It is
- conventionally named ``get_root``. An application may supply a
- root factory to :app:`Pyramid` during the construction of a
- :term:`Configurator`. If a root factory is not supplied, the
- application uses a default root object. Use of the default root
- object is useful in application which use :term:`URL dispatch` for
- all URL-to-view code mappings.
