+Your application can define *multiple* not found views if necessary.  Both

+:class:`pyramid.view.view_config`, respectively.  This means that not found
+views can carry predicates limiting their applicability.  For example:

+   from pyramid.view import notfound_view_config
+
+   notfound_view_config(request_method='GET')
