I found what appears to be an easier way. I should have thought of it
before. Everything is an object so:
in my controller:
=====================================
def testFunction(a):
return a*a
def index():
return dict(funct=testFunction)
=====================================
in my view:
======================================
{{=funct(5)}}
======================================
results in 25 being printed on the page
