Can a python def be defined and used within a template?

Yes. A template is a python program, and such has access to everything you
would do inside of any python app. You can import modules, run SQL
queries, do math, run for loops, and even define defs. Although I find it
much easier to create a function inside of a module and either import it
inside the tpl and just call the function, or better bring it in as an
object when the template is called (thus avoiding importing it again if
it's already imported under the main module).

Thank you. I found my error. I missed that an "end" statement is required
to end a def function.
