Numeric for loop in Django templates

Unfortunately, that's not supported in the Django template language. There are a couple of suggestions, but they seem a little complex. I would just put a variable in the context:

...
render_to_response('foo.html', {..., 'range': range(10), ...}, ...)
...

and in the template:

{% for i in range %}
     ...
{% endfor %}

You can pass a binding of

{'n' : range(n) }

to the template, then do

{% for i in n %}
...
{% endfor %}

Note that you'll get 0-based behavior (0, 1, ... n-1).

(Updated for Python3 compatibility)

You can pass :

{ 'n' : range(n) }

To use template :

{% for i in n %} ... {% endfor %}

You don't pass n itself, but rather range(n) [the list of integers from 0 to n-1 included], from your view to your template, and in the latter you do {% for i in therange %} (if you absolutely insist on 1-based rather than the normal 0-based index you can use forloop.counter in the loop's body;-).

Just incase anyone else comes across this question… I've created a template tag which lets you create a range(...): http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1926/

Accepts the same arguments as the 'range' builtin and creates a list containing
the result of 'range'.

Syntax:
    {% mkrange [start,] stop[, step] as context_name %}

For example:
    {% mkrange 5 10 2 as some_range %}
    {% for i in some_range %}
      {{ i }}: Something I want to repeat\n
    {% endfor %}

Produces:
    5: Something I want to repeat 
    7: Something I want to repeat 
    9: Something I want to repeat

{% for _ in ''|center:13 %}
    {{ forloop.counter }}
{% endfor %}

For those who are looking to simple answer, just needing to display an amount of values, let say 3 from 100 posts for example just add {% for post in posts|slice:"3" %} and loop it normally and only 3 posts will be added.

This shows 1 to 20 numbers:

{% for i in "x"|rjust:"20"|make_list %}
 {{ forloop.counter }}
{% endfor %}

also this can help you: (count_all_slider_objects come from views)

{% for i in "x"|rjust:count_all_slider_objects %}
  {{ forloop.counter }}
{% endfor %}

or

  {% with counter=count_all_slider_objects %}
    {% if list_all_slider_objects %}
      {%  for slide in list_all_slider_objects %}
        {{forloop.counter|add:"-1"}}
        {% endfor%}
      {% endif %}
    {% endwith %}

You can pass range(n) instead of n in the context in views.py. This will give you an iterable list.

context['range']= range(n)

Then you can iterate in your template this way:

{% for i in range %}
   <!-- your code -->
{% endfor %}

{% for i in range(10) %}
   {{ i }}

{% endfor %}
