I'm not sure what you mean by "browser page pattern."  BFG uses a ZCML
directive which looks a bit like the classic Z3 one:

 <bfg:view
   for=".models.MyModel"
   view=".views.my_model_view"
   name="some_name.html"
   permission="view"
   />

or the equivalent decorator:

  @bfg_view(name='some_name.html', for_=MyModel
            permission='view')
  def my_model_view(context, request):
      return render_template_to_response('templates/my_view.pt')

It avoids the "catll the factory, the call the result" dance of classic
Z3 views, as well as the need to dummy up a view class behind the
scenes.  I don't think there is much in common here at the
implementation level (although the ZCML spelling is fairly close).

The "Python web frameworks" (Pylons, TurboGears, BFG) don't configure
their applications "inside" a container supplied by the appserver:  they
wire them in via an external configuration mechanism (e.g., a Paste INI
file, or a script called at startup).
