Sorry, someone just pointed me to this message.
Of course we can build a window and grid on the fly: the command is:
form, grid = dabo.ui.browse(<data>)
...where <data> is a data set, or any object with a getDataSet() method, such
as a bizobj or a cursor. I demonstrated this at my session at PyCon 2007:

If you don't want to do this in a separate window, you can call the
grid's buildFromDataSet() method directly. This command has a ton of optional
parameters to control just how you would like the grid to appear.
