For the record:
There is a FilterExpression class in django.template that does exactly
what I need. So for the tag implementation, instead of:
===
from django.template import resolve_variable
@register.tag
def mytag(parser, token):
tag_name, message = token.split_contents()
[...]
return MytagNode(message)
class MytagNode(template.Node):
[...]
def render(self, context):
actual_message = resolve_variable(self.message, context)
[...]
===
I do it like this:
===
from django.template import FilterExpression
@register.tag
def mytag(parser, token):
[...]
filter_expression = FilterExpression(message, parser)
return MytagNode(filter_expression)
class MytagNode(template.Node):
[...]
def render(self, context):
actual_message = self.filter_expression.resolve(context)
[...]
===
The filter_expression.resolve(context) runs all the filters attached to
the variable and things work as expected. The 'parser' argument even
makes it aware of custom filters loaded through {% load ... %} tags.
Lesson learned, note taken.
