Base class for all class-based views.

Pyramid when processing a request. They will have the following

.. attribute:: request
Reference to the current :term:`request` object.
.. attribute:: app
Reference to the :term:`app handler`.

Convenience method to return a HTTP 302 response.

raise self.redirect('/')

error is always "safe" since Pyramid will handle that
correctly no matter what.

Returns a generic file response for the given path.

by the web app.
:param attachment: Whether the file should come down as an
"attachment" instead of main payload.
The attachment behavior is the default here, and will cause
the user to be prompted for where to save the file.
Set ``attachment=False`` in order to cause the browser to
render the file as if it were the page being navigated to.
:param filename: Optional filename to use for attachment
behavior. This will be the "suggested filename" when user
is prompted to save the download. If not specified, the
filename is derived from ``path``.
:returns: A :class:`~pyramid:pyramid.response.FileResponse`
