Creating new widget is useless. You can use base Select widget.

from datetime import timedelta

DATES_CHOICES = [(<my_date_object> + timedelta(i), <my_date_object> + timedelta(i)) for i in range(DAYS)]

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    dates = forms.CharField(max_length=10,
                  widget=forms.Select(choices=DATES_CHOICES))

Without the intention of taking out credit from the author silent1mezzo, it's incredible the alternative of cricogik provided in just a few lines of code. Conclussion: python is awesome. Regards!
