Pyramid only does so if you tell it to do so by using config.scan(). You 
are not obliged to do that, and I have several pyramid projects which do 
not do any scanning. Not doing scanning has the advantage of making 
configuration more explicit, and it speeds application startup immensely.

Scanning is needed if you want to mix configuration and code in one 
place. That may not be the right model for everyone.

Wichert.
