You can create a widget function that creates the original widget and
returns it modified:
def mycustomwidget():
new_widget = SQLFORM.widgets.autocomplete(request,
db.category.name, limitby=(0,10), min_length=2)
... # modify the helper
return new_widget
db.mytable.myfield.widget = mycustomwidget
Other (better I think) way is to inherit the widget classes in a
custom class
class mycustomwidget(SQFFORM.widgets.widgetname):
# method overriding code
....
