Numeric for loop in Django templates

Question

How do I write a numeric for loop in a Django template? I mean something like

for i = 1 to n

Answer 1

I'm just taking the popular answer a bit further and making it more robust. This lets you specify any start point, so 0 or 1 for example. It also uses python's range feature where the end is one less so it can be used directly with list lengths for example.

@register.filter(name='range')
def filter_range(start, end):
  return range(start, end)

Then in your template just include the above template tag file and use the following:

{% for c in 1|range:6 %}
{{ c }}
{% endfor %}

Now you can do 1-6 instead of just 0-6 or hard coding it. Adding a step would require a template tag, this should cover more uses cases so it's a step forward.
