@ziima this might be in the realm of your recent changes, what is your take on this?

I just want add a placeholder at the captcha field

captcha = CaptchaField(error_messages={'invalid': e_message},
widget=CaptchaTextInput(attrs={'placeholder': p_message},
output_format=u'%(hidden_field)s %(text_field)s %(image)s'))

the output_format is ok, but the placeholder doesn't work

Using django-simple-captcha 0.5.7, django 1.11 and python 2.7 following works for me:

from django import forms
from captcha.fields import CaptchaField, CaptchaTextInput

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    captcha = CaptchaField(widget=CaptchaTextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'SMEGHEAD!'}))

form = MyForm()
unicode(form)

@shuai336 I'm not entirely sure how your form looks like, but output_format is now deprecated in favor of template based rendering. One of the reasons was to fix the behavior of widget attributes. Edit: I got it, once I submitted the comment.
