Maybe another way to reply to your question is to break down how it
would work normally.
There are two sides of this question - the server side and the client side.
In general client side stuff is done in javascript.
Server side requests are done in python.
So you have to decide where you want this to happen. If you chose the
server side realize that a round trip has to occur. This can be done
and was done often but not normally used when dealing with direct user
input (javascript is used) on the client side (in the browser). You can
in fact create a button that retrieves the data (executes a view
function) and then returns a new view. But that is very old school and
normally not used. You might want to look at how the django forms works
under the hood and use similar code.
That said, the above is not the norm of today. Within your template you
add div id's that relate to javascript code. When the action occurs the
javascript is run (all on the client side) saving a round trip. Today's
javascript is able to retrieve data (execute a python function via a
view), display data, insert new objects, etc.. So of course most use
the best tool for the job.

You don't actually need python or django to get form input and do
something with the input.
My function is not as simple as adding two numbers and for various
reasons I am not interested in using Javascript. I just used
myadder(x,y) as an example.

Does part 3 of the tutorial cover how to make a form, get
the values without storing them in a database, perform the
arithmetic and then display the result? I didn't see that
in there.
I don't what to store them in a database. Just do the
calculation. Is this explained in the tutorial?
I have been sick = brain not working well. maybe I'll get this
figured out today or actually do the whole tutorial.

that's exactly the point. your question assumes
Django works in some
specific way, and there should be a simple answer
for a simple need.
but i don't think you assumptions are correct, if
you knew how Django
(and frameworks in general) work, your question
might be very
different, and the answer much simpler and better
in general.
really, doing the tutorial is a very good
investment of your time.
