I'm not sure if there's an official stance on that, but I believe that since Django is a "MVT" framework, that kind of logic does not seem to be appropiate neither for templates nor views, so models seem like the logical choice.
That way you can also make sure that the side-effect that you want to be called (cache update when changing a model, for example) are always executed when calling the model's method.
