Thanks Anthony, it works! I have prepared this wrapper, useful for newbies
like me:
def form_prepare_opts(mydict):
return [OPTION(mydict[code], _value=code) for code in mydict]
And then, in the controller function:
countries_opts = form_prepare_opts(countries)
Which can be used to initialize the select:
TR(T("Country: *"), SELECT(countries_opts, _name="country",
requires=IS_IN_SET(countries)))
