Quoting the "Philosophy" section at the top of this page:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/
------------------
"If you have a background in programming, or if you're used to
languages like PHP which mix programming code directly into HTML,
you'll want to 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."
"The Django template system provides tags which function similarly to
some programming constructs — an {% if %} tag for boolean tests, a {%
for %} tag for looping, etc. — but these are not simply executed as
the corresponding Python code, and the template system will not
execute arbitrary Python expressions. Only the tags, filters and
syntax listed below are supported by default (although you can add
your own extensions to the template language as needed)."
------------------
This suggests an answer to why the things you're trying don't work
(the template system isn't just Python mixed into HTML, and so
arbitrary Python function calls don't work), and offers some ideas on
where to turn to get something that works (write a custom tag or, if
this is a common need, write a custom method on your model which
returns the value you want).
