Perfect, Thank You! I didn't realize that IS_IN_SET() had a labels
argument available that would set the text to be shown in the select
box. So many little treasures hidden away in web2py :)
>From the epydocs for web2py.gluon.validators.IS_IN_SET()
__init__(self, theset, labels=None, error_message='value not
allowed', multiple=False, zero=None)
So the following solves my needs:
weekdays =
("Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday")
#these will be the "labels" for our select field
form = SQLFORM.factory(
Field("days", label = "Desired Day(s) of the Week",
requires=IS_IN_SET(range(1,8),labels=weekdays, multiple=True)))
