Thanks for the help. I ended up just creating the following function
in my lib\helpers.py file:

def create_type_options(type_list):
        return ''.join(map(lambda ct: '<option value=\"%d\">%s</option>' %
(ct.id, ct.name,), type_list))

I am using it like this on the form:
 ${h.select('lbxType', h.create_type_options(c.type_list))}


I tried using the options_for_select but I am assuming is using the
__str__ method of my class, because in the drop down I see the
following HTML:
option value="&lt;foobar.model.ComponentType object at
0x01531310&gt;">&lt;foobarr.model.ComponentType object at
0x01531310&gt;</option>
<option value="&lt;foobar.model.ComponentType object at
0x01531270&gt;">&lt;foobar.model.ComponentType object at
0x01531270&gt;</option>

With my method I am seeing the following HTML, which is what I need:
<option value="1">Operating System</option>
<option value="2">Driver</option>
