Use Django Template Tags in JavaScript File

I was wondering if I could use the template tag static in my javascript file to call a CSV file I want to pass to D3 like so:

{% static "js/data.csv" %}

I'd really like my JavaScript files to be separate from my HTML, because it can get long and messy. Thanks for any help.

Use django-compressor

django-compressor lets you do this as well as optimize your site by condensing all of your required JS or CSS into one file and optimizing file size.

UPDATE: By default, compressor will convert relative urls into absolute urls using STATIC_URL. If you download the development version, it comes with a django template engine parser which lets you use all django template code directly in your CSS files, such as the {% static %} tag.
