With the @register.tag decorator, you need to define a proper template
node class - the decorator goes on the compilation function that
returns that node. You want the @register.simple_tag decorator
instead.

"'str' object has no attribute 'source'" for a simple test tag

[Derek]

Running Django 1.2.1 with Python 2.6

I am trying to create a simple test tag (the more complex ones are not
working either...).

In the templatetags directory, I have this code in the my_tags.py file:

from django import template
register = template.Library()

@register.tag
def foo(eggs=None, spam=None):
return "foo"
foo.is_safe = True


And in the template file that uses it I have:

{% load my_tags %}
{% foo %}


However, when I try and load the template file, I get a:

Exception Type: AttributeError at /path/to/url
Exception Value: 'str' object has no attribute 'source'

error, and the full trace path includes no references to my source file(s).

What (presumably obvious) mistake am I making?

Thanks
Derek
