Where is not such a big deal. You could write a function in view that you
reuse multiple times (maybe start its name with an _ to show that it is not
a public function cq just a helper function), or you could put it into a
util.py file and import it in your views.py
How totally depends on what the function does, what is the block of code
that comes back in every view?
Second question is about handling common views. Basically i have one

You can than probably have several templates that extend the base template
(with all your <head> etc.) and have them all use just one block, content
for example, from your base template.
