How to define a combobox in a combobox using Python?
See for example the Physical Sky > Time and Location > City GUI.

Are you talking about having a popup menu displayed when we click on the combo?
If you take a look at the description of the Physical Sky ( modules\advanced render\sky\res\description\oskyshader.res ) you can see that the City combo is defined as:
LONG SKY_POS_CITY_COMBO
{
PARENTCOLLAPSE;
CUSTOMGUI SKY_II_CITYLIST;
ANIM OFF;
}
So you can see that it's made with custom gadget; unfortunately it's not possible to develop custom GUIs with the Python SDK, only in C++.
Or are talking about the collapsing of City parameter?
In its declaration you can see PARENTCOLLAPSE flag and Time Zone attribute is declared with PARENTCOLLAPSE SKY_POS_CITY_COMBO to tell CINEMA his collapse parent:
LONG SKY_POS_TIMEZONE
{
PARENTCOLLAPSE SKY_POS_CITY_COMBO;
CYCLE
{
SKY_POS_TZ_OS;
SKY_POS_TZ_CUSTOM;
}
}

What I mean is that like the City comboboxx in the Physical Sky, first select the continent, that displays another combobox with all countries on that continent.
Then select a country, that displays all cities in that country.
I'm sorry, I do not understand what you mean with "collapsing of City parameter"?

This is a dynamic popup menu calculated by the custom GUI.

I'm referring to the parameters that you can show or hide below City parameter.

Ok, clear.
Do you have an example of such a popup menu?
Sorry, I see you just told me

No, I just said that we can't build custom gadgets in Python but we can of course create dynamic popup menus.
Here's an example of a recursive popup dialog:
import c4d
from c4d import gui
def BuildMenuRecursive(menu, level, maxlevel) :
offset = 10*level
menu.SetString(c4d.FIRST_POPUP_ID+offset, 'Item '+str(offset+1))
menu.SetString(c4d.FIRST_POPUP_ID+offset+1, 'Item '+str(offset+2))
level += 1
if level==maxlevel:
menu.SetString(c4d.FIRST_POPUP_ID+offset+2, 'Item '+str(offset+3))
else:
submenu = c4d.BaseContainer()
submenu.SetString(1, 'Item '+str(offset+3))
BuildMenuRecursive(submenu, level, maxlevel)
menu.SetContainer(c4d.FIRST_POPUP_ID+offset+2, submenu)
menu.SetString(c4d.FIRST_POPUP_ID+offset+3, 'Item '+str(offset+4))
# Build main menu recursively
# With a maximum of 5 menus
menu = c4d.BaseContainer()
BuildMenuRecursive(menu, 0, 5)
# Show popup dialog
result = gui.ShowPopupDialog(cd=None, bc=menu, x=300, y=300)
print result
