RE: sending data back to template out of a function
Yes, but python cares about types (a lot!!). If you have {% if blah %} in
your template, the template parser will have to evaluate blah. If blah is a
string, it will evaluate true unless it is empty. I am not totally sure how
it will be evaluated if it is not a string (or a list / dict / bool), so it
is good to know what you are trying to make it evaluate.
>From looking at the code you have given, it looks like the most likely
problem is with zipcode variable, or how you are calling the function.

Hi Em -
I'm not really specifying anything about type @ the moment.. .i'm just
trying to figure out how to pass stuff back to the template (ie stuff that's
NOT form validation related)

I can't see anything work in your code (but there could be something I
haven't spotted!!).
My instinct would be to ensure that zipcode is a string. What did you do to
check that the zipcode is being passed in?
