Gergana,

first of all I suggest using ZPT instead of DTML. You might then do 
something like
<block tal:condition="python: test(mytest(), 1, 0)">
<select>
<option></option>
</select>
</block>

This will work in very simple situations. For more complex situations you 
will probably want to break your logic (here the "test") into a 
PythonScript and you might want to look at using Macros for reusing this 
element in different templates.
