Renderers
=========
-In the :ref:`views_chapter` chapter, we said that a view callable must

-that attempts to convert a non-Response return value of a function, class, or
-instance that acts as a :term:`view callable` to a :term:`Response` object.

-return something which does not implement the Pyramid Response interface,
-:app:`Pyramid` will attempt to use a :term:`renderer` to construct a
-response. For example:
