How can I use two functions of the same name in model django

I have two functions in the same model , and I need to use them in my generic view , one function in a view and the other function in the other view . 

class Container(models.Model):
    vehicle = models.ForeignKey(Vehicle, on_delete=models.CASCADE ,null=True)
    . 
    .
    state = models.CharField(max_length = 120)
    Free_volume = models.FloatField()

    def get_absolute_url(self):#the first function
        return reverse('vehicule_app:container-view')

    def get_absolute_url(self):#the secont function
        return reverse('vehicule_app:details', kwargs={'pk' : self.pk})

I want to use the first function in this view :

form_class = ContainerForm
template_name = 'vehicule_app/container_form.html'

and I want to use the second function in other view :

class ContainerCreate(CreateView):
    form_class = ContainerForm
    template_name = 'vehicule_app/container_form.html'

Rename your function. They do not return the same choice. They do not need to have the same name.

def get_absolute_container_url(self):
    return reverse('vehicule_app:container-view')

def get_absolute_details_url(self):
    return reverse('vehicule_app:details', kwargs={'pk' : self.pk})

If you want only one function, you can add an optional parameter.

def get_absolute_url(self, get_details=False):
    if get_details:
        return reverse('vehicule_app:details', kwargs={'pk' : self.pk})
    else:
        return reverse('vehicule_app:container-view')

In your views:

class ContainerCreate(CreateView):
    form_class = ContainerForm
    template_name = 'vehicule_app/container_form.html'

    def form_valid(self, form):
         # This function is call when form is valid.
         # Put your code here
