Retrieving an object into django templatetags.

I would like to have a templatetags where I could deal with my object's fields. So in my template I have something like : 

{% myTag item %}

And in my templatetags : 

@register.tag
    def myTag (parser,token):
        tag_name, item = token.split_contents()
        ...

However, token.split_contents() return me a string. How can I do to have my object instead of a string ?

Thanks.

Don't use the tag decorator, which needs a separate Node class in order to resolve variables. Instead, use the simple_tag decorator, which is passed the parameters directly.

@register.simple_tag
def myTag(item):
    ...
