You specifically asked how to render a template based on a request
parameter, which implies that you have a request, which implies that we have
no problem here.
Like I said, you can fake a request fairly easily, but if you want to use
the templating engines that pyramid set up for you, they require the
registry.
Assuming that the registry is in pyramid.threadlocal.get_current_registry()
correctly, you can simply call render('mytemplate.mako', { some dict of
values }) and it will work without a request.
FWIW if you truly don't care about doing anything in python, you can of
course define a view that doesn't do anything, and register that for the
routes you want to render:
def null_view(request):
pass
config.add_route('my_route', '/')
config.add_route('my_users', '/users')
config.add_view(null_view, route_name='my_route',
renderer='mytemplate.mako')
config.add_view(null_view, route_name='my_users',
renderer='myusers.mako')
