I'm not an authority on the matter but I'll respond anyways. Note that I will probably over generalize and water down things, and may be plain wrong but it should help give you some idea anyways. pyramid is basically a renamed repoze.bfg, which was a framework made by the zope folks in an attempt

Yeah, the main issue is that I think the new structure at a high level can be a little confusing, since the Pylons name is changing from a framework to a project. The distinction between Pylons 1.0 and Pylons project makes it difficult to relay the Pylons name and the fact that Pyramid is a

I've started wondering about porting a subset of Plone to Pyramid. Pylons has long lacked a full-featured CMS package. While Plone can be mounted as a sub-URL or vice-versa, it's still really big and different and harder to extend. As a programmer I'd be interested in making custom Plone products
