Hi, Im having troubles defining widgets as classes. When widgets are 
defined as functions it all works well, the function returns a html 
object(DIV, UL, ...) and the view renders the markup correctly, but im 
trying to define the widget as a class to handle static files requirements 
for that widget.

I have tried the __str__ method to render the widget but the view(or 
SQLFORM) renders as text, not html markup.

Here is some example code:

#Widget as a function
def CustomWidget(field, value):
    return DIV(field.name, _class="myClass")

#Widget as a class
class CustomWIdget():

   def __init__(self, field, value):
       self.field = field
       self.value = value
   
   def  html(self):
       return DIV(self.field.name)
   
   def __str__(self):
       return str(self.html()) #this doesnt return html markup, escaped 
text instead

db.define_table("table1",
    Field("myField", "string", widget=CustomWidget) 
)

Thanks in advance.
