I usually put such app specific helper function in file utils.py and use someting like this
from myapp.utils import my_cool_func
def view_coolness(request):
data = my_cool_func(request)
return render_to_response("xxx.html")
but it depends what you helper does, may be they modify request , the could be part of middleware, so you need to tell what exactly those helper functions do

If they are related to a specific app, I usually just put them in the related app folder and name the file, ‘functions.py’.
If they’re not specific to an app, I make a commons app for components (tests, models, functions, etc) that are shared across apps.

create a reusable app that include your generic functions so you can share between projects.
use for example a git repo to store this app and manage deployments and evolution (submodule)
use a public git repo so you can share with the community 🙂

I am using new python file service.py in app folder. The file contains mostly helper queries for specific app. Also I used to create a folder inside Django application that contains global helper functions and constants.
