Do you really need a class? You can create widget as a simple function as shown in the book. I say that because it easier to show you how to set default value with a simple function (less code)...
def mysupercustomwidget(field, value, ...) ... if value is not None and value != '': field_value = value INPUT(..., value=field_value) ... Hope it helps.
