Re: Can we use python related api's on the Django templates ?

While you cannot use Python operators and functions directly in the templates, you can write your own "wrappers" around those you need:

Hi all, 

Currently I am trying to print the type of a variable from the Django template html file as follows: 

    <center><h2>The type of feature list report for version {%type(version)%} is<h2></center>

For the above, I am getting the following error: 

Invalid block tag on line 9: 'type(version)'. Did you forget to register or load this tag?

So what's going wrong here? How can we use the python related api's (like type) from the html template files? I think inside the {% .... %} we can use python related evaluations. Am I right? 

Please throw some lights on this .

Thanks. 

No, you are wrong, and this is explicitly pointed out in the docs (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/templates/language/):

> bear in mind that the Django template system is not simply Python embedded into HTML. This is by design: the template system is meant to express presentation, not program logic.
