Yup. As you said, you make a view for the event, and then you find
that view and call it.

I'm guessing the problem is how to find the view? I'm not sure what
the easiet way in Grok is.

from zope.traversing.api import traverse
view = traverse(event, '@@theviewname')

or you can look it up via a multiadapter call, but that seem more
complicated (but is faster and probably the "correct" way of doing
it).

Of course, if you used a ZPT template instead of generating teh HTML
in Python, it would be trivial.
