Nevermind! Thanks to FunkyBob, I have a solution. I didn't realize you could
do this so easily, so I'll share it with others.
# views.py
def my_router(request):
view = MyCBV.as_view(template_name = 'foo.html')
return view(request)
Of course, I actually have logic in my function -- but I'm sure you get the
point :)
