In a typical view file you have to think about where the execution will 
occur.

The Python code in the view will run on the server as part of the page 
generation process, the page is shipped out to the user's browser as the 
response and will be HTML and Javascript and the Javascript that possibly is 
embedded in that page is run by the user's browser. Given that situation 
there is no longer any Python code for the Javascript to assign a variable 
into.

Your only hope is to generate an AJAX request from the Javascript which will 
send a new request to the server as a way to interact back with the Python 
code on the server.
