使用Django模板和标签，而不使用Django的其余部分

Question

I want to use Django for templating, but am not building a web-app. Basically, most of my question has been asked and answered here . But I also need to use a certain tag, which is not a custom tag by me (as addressed in one of the answers), but the mathfilters filters installed with pip . How can I use them in this context?

I read everywhere to rather use something like Jinja for this, but that would be a last resort.

Answer 1

settings.configure() accepts settings as keyword arguments. To activate mathfilters , simply add it to INSTALLED_APP like you would do in settings.py :

import django
from django.conf import settings

settings.configure(INSTALLED_APPS=['mathfilters'])
django.setup()

Then you can use {% load mathfilters %} to load the tags and filters. Note that since Django 1.7 you need to call django.setup() after you've configured your settings.
