Replying to [comment:1 Tim Graham]:
> Could you describe your use case in more detail? Is there a reason that
overriding `ChoiceWidget.create_option()` wouldn't work?
Web developers may want to individually style each option in a
`ChoiceWidget`, be it by adding CSS classes or style attributes. This may
be done to add images to such a widget to make it more appealing to the
user. Developers may also want to add ARIA properties to the options or
add additional information to work with them via JavaScript.
It would absolutely be possible to override the `ChoiceWidget` class and
modifying the `create_option()` method. I imagine, however, that this is a
common enough use case to warrant a simpler method of doing this. Here are
some people on StackOverflow having the same issue:
