I feel like something like this already exists somewhere, but you can simply
write a filter that turns a number into a range:
so in your templates you would have:
{% for i in 10|range %}
...
{%endfor%}
and your template filter would simply be:
from django.template.defaultfilters import stringfilter
@stringfilter
def range(value): return range(int(value))
