from pyramid.view import view_config

    @view_config(route_name='hello')
    def hello_world(request):
        return Response('Hello %(person)s' % request.matchdict)
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        config = Configurator()
        config.add_route('hello', '/hello/{person}')

The rationale for putting the route ordering in imperative code instead of using decorator declaration order is in the document I linked. I'm not particularly interested in crippling Pyramid for larger apps to race to the bottom of the LOC count. It's succinct enough and works for truly large apps too.

    @view_config(route_name='hello', request_method='GET')
    def get_hello(request):
        return Response('a GET request for %s' % request.matchdict['name'])

    @view_config(route_name='hello', request_method='POST')
    def post_hello(request):
        return Response('stored info')

    config = Configurator()
    config.add_route('hello', '/hello/{name}')
    config.scan()
    app = config.make_wsgi_app()
