Call a Django python function from tag script in the template

This is some content of my Django template.

...
<a id="ID" href="">Do operation with database.<a/>
...
<script type="text/javascript">
                    window.onload = function () {
                        var a = document.getElementById("ID");
                        a.onclick = function () {
                            if (confirm("do you really want to perform task?")) {
                                /** call python function in order to perform some operations with database **/
                            }
                            return;
                        }
</script>
...

The function is for example(we can imagine the function is in views.py):
def performtask():
#do my operation with the database

My question is, how it is possibile to call performtask() function from the script tag in my template?

you should go through with ajax 

   $.ajax({
        url: "http://abc,com/app/",
        type: "POST",
        data :{},
        success:function(result){
            //your code
        },
        error:function(error){
            //error handal
        }
    });
