It sounds like instead of passing your queryset directly to the
view/template, you might want to pass "enumerate(qs)"[1] to your
view/template. This returns pairs of zero-based indicies that
you can use for your X. Use the "add" filter[2] to make them
1-based indices.
Or more easily, if you're iterating over the list of items in
your view, you can use the "forloop.counter" property[3]:
<dl>
{% for picture in pictures %}
<dt>Item {{ forloop.counter }} of {{ pictures.count }}</dt>
<dd>{{ picture }}</dd>
{% endfor %}
</dl>
