You could implement something like this with a tween. Just have a list of 
URL paths somewhere (in memory or a database or Redis or whatever is 
suitable for your purposes) that you want to disable. The tween would 
simply check PATH_INFO against the list and return a standard 503 response 
before the request ever reaches your app.

I'm suggesting a tween (as opposed to WSGI middleware) because a tween has 
access to the Pyramid environment, which can be used to generate a page 
that lists all of your app's URLs with check boxes for disabling individual 
pages or subsections.
