You seem to be quite sure of this. I can assert you, however, that 
you're wrong :).

Yes, self.context is the exception. But self.context.__parent__ will be 
the location that the error occurred with.

I don't see the point. You could just as well call grok.getSite() to get

I don't really see the need for ErrorView.
