Not sure I understand but you can try:

def getcities():
    citystr = request.vars.values()[0]
    if citystr == "Delhi":
        output = "Hyderabad"
    elif citystr == "Tamil Nadu":
        output = "Chennai"
    elif citystr == "Andhra Pradesh":
        output = "Pune"
    else:
        output = "mumbai"
    return TAG[''](OPTION("----"),OPTION("asfas"),OPTION
("safee"),OPTION(output))

def index1():
    form=FORM(TABLE(
                    TR("State:", SELECT("Andhra
Pradesh","Delhi","Tamil Nadu",_name="States",
_id="States",default="Delhi",_onchange="ajax('/Test/default/
getcities',
['States'],'district')",requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY()])),
                    TR("District", SELECT("----","asfas","safee",
_name="Choose", _id="district", default="----", requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY
()]))))
    return dict(form=form)
