Thanks pbreit, but they are not virtual fields, they are just based on
another field definition.
Maybe with a function:
def like(field, name):
import copy
f = copy.copy(field)
f.name = name
f.label = ' '.join(x..capitalize() for x in name.split('_'))
return f
name = Field('name','string',length=20,requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY())
db.define_table('person',
like(name, 'firstname'),
like(name, 'lastname'),
Field('age', 'integer'),
...
