But once you start setting context, you need to have a node that is rendered, because it is happening when the template is rendered. It really isn't that difficult, even if there is a little boiler plate. That said, I wrote up this easy_template_tag that allows you to set the functions signature and get directly into the render method of the node. It saves me some time as I am always breaking apart template strings. You can check it out here: http://bitbucket.org/newmaniese/newmanutils/src/tip/newmanutils/decorators/templates.py#cl-31 It's still not perfect, The docstring of the function isn't exposed and I would rather not have to pass a regex object as the signature, (and a lot of other things), but works and it saves me a lot of time when writing template tags.
