one way achieve create helper method returns report or context needed both methods. issue here returning httpresponse object, , cleanest use helper method here:

def get_report(request):     report=report.objects.filter(report=report_id)     #do more processing here.     #returning dict safest here, because, in calling method, `.get()` not throw error if key not present.      return {'report': report, 'somevar': somevar}  def followup(request):      marklist = get_report(request).get('somevar')      return render(request, 'incident/followup.html',{'somevar':marklist})  def report_template(request):     report = get_report(request).get('report')     return render(request, 'incident/print.html',         {'report':report})
