I assume you already use a tal:loop in your template to iterate over the 
options.

As far as I know you cannot pass the entire html select snippet through 
KSS, and that is bad design in any case.

What I do is to put a matal:macro around my tal:loop in the page 
template, then from within my Python script I call that macro to obtain 
the new options as html, and then I pass that html back with 
core.replaceInnerHTML for the select tag.

The benefit is template re-use and you do not pollute your script with 
markup.

If you need an example let me know.
