Since a view is just a function, yes it will work. However, a view
function will always return an HttpResponse object, so you probably want
something like
return Showdetails(request,slug=currentslug,selfbidder=1)
so that the returned information is used.

One popular use-case for this style of operation is wrapping generic
views to prepare extra information beforehand. An example is here:
