Here's my version: http://pastebin.com/D9302aYG http://pastebin.com/6QpEGnUG Personally, I think your no_in_optgroup_marker is overly verbose. In my code, if any item in the values list is a string pair, it is a plain option, if it is a pair whose second element is a non-string, then it is an optgroup. If you do want to be very explicit about which items are option groups and which are plain options, I'd rather see it the other way around, with the option groups explicitly marked: widget = SelectWidget( values = [ ('normal', 'A plain option'), OptGroup('Group Label', ('val', 'A grouped option'), ('val2', 'Another grouped option'), ), ], ) If one did the above, then you wouldn't really need the ``optgroup`` option. Also, for me, (though I would guess not for most others,) it is important to be able to control the option label and long label independently. E.g. I generate something like <optgroup label="Foo"> <option value="foo/bar" label="Bar">Bar (Foo)</option> </optgroup> The short label ("Bar") is displayed by browser which support <optgroup>, while the long label ("Bar (Foo)") is displayed in old/bizarre browsers.
