The PythonCard distribution does include a component for Grid - but the 
Resource Editor doesn't include it in the list of components that can be 
inserted (but see below).

The samples directory does include the simplegrid.py - and if you go run 
it, it does seem to work. But the Samples Launcher doesn't include it.

The readme.txt in SimpleGrid says

So I think there is a basic Grid component, but there isn't yet any way to 
use all (or many) of its features except by going direct to wxGrid.

The sample dbBrowser2 uses a Grid component (by creating the component 
dynamically).

I think between those two samples you can probably figure out how to do 
include one.
Either
1. sneakily
  - run the Resource Editor to define some of your resources
  - save the rsrc.py file, manually edit it to include a grid (cut/paste 
from SimpleGrid.rsrc.py)
  - now the Resource Editor will let you edit or update the grid component
2. dynamically - as in dbBrowser2.py

In either case, you'll still need to bind events directly, as SimpleGrid does.

Good luck
