-----------------

a simple templatetag could be:

#templatetags/greeting_tags.py
register = template.Library()

@register.filter
def as_friendly_hello(name):
    return friendly_greeting_hello(name)

--------------------------
example usage
{% load greeting_tags %}
{{ name|as_friendly_hello }}
.....

If you name the gist greetings.py then it will be rendered with syntax highlighting (which makes it easier to read).

Ahh thanks :)
