The way I would do it is to create a tag that creates a list object
using range as a template var and then use a simple for loop, the
usage would be:
{% range 1 10 as my_range %}
{% for i in my_range %}
{{ i }},
{% endfor %}
would return 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
I'm going to write this up and post it to django snippets later, if
anyone wants it, I'll post a link.
