A simple trick to let a function be called with exactly ONE argument from a Django template, by passing it via an attribute. Example:

class SearchResult(object):
    @template_callable
    def highlighted(self, field):
        return self._xappy_result.highlight(field)

result = SearchResult()
result.highlighted.title

{{ result.highlighted.title }}

def template_callable(func):   
    class GetAttrCaller(object):
        def __init__(self, instance):
            self.instance = instance
        def __getattr__(self, name):
            return func(self.instance, name)
        # Would cause Django to think this is a method, even through templates
        #def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        #    return func(self, *args, **kwargs)
    class TemplateCallableDescriptor(object):
        def __get__(self, instance, klass):
            return GetAttrCaller(instance)
    return TemplateCallableDescriptor()
