Calling Python function in Django template

Question

Inside a django template I\'m trying to call the split function on one of the template variables and then get the last element, so I did something like this:

{{          


        

Answer 1

From the django book:

Note that you do not include parentheses in the method calls. Also, it’s not possible to pass arguments to the methods; you can only call methods that have no required arguments.

So, if you want to call a method without arguments from a template, it's fine. Otherwise, you have to do it in the view.
