What GUI library are you using? I am a little familiar with Tkinter and wxPython and might be able to help. There are others I am not familiar with.

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <html>
  2. <head>

  6.  
  7. <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" vlink="#800080" alink="#ff0000" onload="fillCategory();">

Here is an example using wxPython. Once you have Python installed you need to download wxPython appropriate for your system and Python version, it's free!
python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. # the wxChoice() widget, a simple dropdown box
  2. # wx.Choice(parent, id, pos, size, choices, style)
  3. # tested with Python24 and wxPython26
  4. # should work on Windows, Linux, and Unix systems
  5.  
  6. import wx
  7.  
  8. class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
  9.     """ class MyFrame inherits wxFrame, uses default ID of -1"""
  10.     def __init__(self ):
  11.         wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, -1, 'wxChoice test', size=(300, 150))
  12.  
  13.         colorList = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'yellow','white']
  14.         # create the dropdown box
  15.         self.choice1 = wx.Choice(self, -1, choices=colorList)
  16.         # select item 1 = 'green' to show
  17.         self.choice1.SetSelection(1)
  18.         # set focus to receive optional keyboard input
  19.         # eg. type r for red, y for yellow
  20.         self.choice1.SetFocus()
  21.         # new event handler wxPython version 2.5 and higher
  22.         self.choice1.Bind(wx.EVT_CHOICE, self.onChoice)
  23.  
  24.     def onChoice(self, event):
  25.         '''get the slected color choice'''
  26.         self.color = self.choice1.GetStringSelection()
  27.         self.SetTitle(self.color)  # test
  28.  
  29.  
  30. # this is only a small application
  31. application = wx.PySimpleApp()
  32. # call class MyFrame
  33. frame1 = MyFrame()
  34. # show the frame
  35. frame1.Show(True)
  36. # start the event loop
  37. application.MainLoop()
