✅

I would presume you would pass the params in when rendering the template in your view, like so:

def yourview(request, month, year):
    return render_to_string("template.html", {
        "month": month,
        "year": year,
    })

and then change get_calendar accordingly:

{% get_calendar for month year as calendar %}

I want to present, how I fixed my problem, for others who might have similar problems:

With the help of the user fish2000, I managed my question like this:

My defined view:

# Create your views here.
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext

import datetime

def calender_view(request, template_name="custom_template_calender_tag.html"):
    d = datetime.date.today()
    recent_month = d.month
    recent_year = d.year
    return render_to_response(template_name, locals(),context_instance=RequestContext(request))

and then changed get_calendar from 

{% get_calendar  for 10 2010 as calendar %}

to

{% get_calendar  for recent_month recent_year as calendar %}

to provide and render the recent month and year dynamically in my template custom_template_calender_tag.html.
