There currently isn't a way to do this, but I have tentative plans to
make something like this happen -- at least for tg2.
Pretty much all we need is a buffet rendering engine which takes the
dict and just passes it right on.
@expose('python') could then be updated to return python when there's
a format='python' parameter in the request -- or, if exposing things
to python ought to always standard, we could drop the need to regester
the 'python' engine... )
Ultimately it might be that this little engine shoudl be bundled up
with the JSON engine, and a couple other proposed engines that don't
require dictionaries (amf3 is one example).
