A Django template filter for displaying longitude and latitude in degrees-minutes-seconds notation

Description

It contains the filters longitude and latitude. They both take a number as input and convert it into a DMS value. The filter longitude accepts any number between -180 and 180, the filter latitude accepts any number between -90 and 90. If the input value is not a number or is a number outside the before mentioned ranges respectively, then the input is displayed without any change and the filters don’t have any effect.
