python - Django templates: create a "back" link?

Question

I'm tooling around with Django and I'm wondering if there is a simple way to create a "back" link to the previous page using the template system.

I figure that in the worst case I can get this information from the request object in the view function, and pass it along to the template rendering method, but I'm hoping I can avoid all this boilerplate code somehow.

I've checked the Django template docs and I haven't seen anything that mentions this explicitly.

Actually it's go(-1).

<input type=button value="Previous Page" onClick="javascript:history.go(-1);">
