Can I embed php code in my Django templates?

to be able to use that look-and-feel to cover the blog part of the
website which is hosted in WordPress.
Is it possible to include PHP code in the Django templates?
Or is there another way (which doesn't involved migrating the blog to Django)?
TIA

Well.
It's probably possible, just not pretty. One thing you might do is
write a custom template loader which calls out to /usr/bin/php and
runs PHP over the contents before returning the Template object for
Django to work with, but that would probably be quite a bit of work.
Another option, and maybe a nicer one, would be to look at the work
Ian Bicking has been doing recently to produce a gateway that lets PHP
apps speak WSGI; he's got an experimental "PyWordpress" that runs
Wordpress under WSGI: http://blog.ianbicking.org/pywordpress.html
Finally, you could ditch WP entirely and use inspectdb +
django.contrib.admin to manage the blog, and do all the templating via
Django, but of course you'd lose (or have to re-implement) any WP
templating features you were relying on.

This external template loader example might be useful for you:

front page of the Wiki if you lose it later).
