That is because you already called the function.

The tal:define="query here/testquery" is (roughly) equivalent to: 
tal:define="query python:here.testquery()". If you want to use a path 
expression which evaluates to something callable so that you have a shorter 
name later when you call it then you explicitly say you don't want to call 
it:

   tal:define="query nocall:here/testquery"
