That are your requirements? If the only requirement is that it should 
look very very fancy and futuristic then you can do it with flash 
programming. (You need Flash knowledge and the result may not be a real 
<select> but an <object>.) Another way to do it is JavaScript and 
absolute positioned DOM elements (you will need CSS and JavaScript 
knowledge). One thing is sure: this question has almost nothing to do 
with Python. Please post this to a JavaScript or Flash programming 
mailing list.
