Have you taken a look at Peppercorn (http://plope.com/peppercorn)? It offers a way to deserialize forms that is closer to what you're asking, though not an exact match.
But I think this might be a case where there's no direct translation from other languages/frameworks into Python/Pyramid. To see a more standard Python approach for reducing boilerplate and handling forms intelligently, check out Deform (http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/deform/dev/). Ultimately though if these approaches don't work for your application, it's easy enough to write a short helper function that will do you want, like Michael suggested. It might also be helpful to the community to better understand your use case if you'd like a more specific example of how we'd approach it in Pyramid.
