how to create counter loop in django template?

I want to print some data based on some condition,

I want to use it like we used in other languages:

for(i=1;i<=count;i++)
print i

To do this in django I wrote

{% for i in count %}
<p>{{ i }}</p>
{% endfor %}

but it gives me an error ‘int’ object is not iterable.Count is coming from views.py and if I prints the count alone than it shows the output.

I wanted to print some value until count not becomes zero,So how i can do this in django.

And one more thing can we use while loop in django because i also try to use it for this task but it gives me the error of invalid block tag: ‘while’

So please let me know how can I do this task ?

Thanks

Edit
in my view.py I have used like this

count=Product_attributes.objects.count()

and then pass this count to my template

Django templates are not programming language. Write all you logic in the view or models, and pass data into the template:

def view(request):
    values = []
    for i in range(10):
         values.append(i) # your custom logic here
    return render_to_response("/path/to/template", {'values': values})

in template:

{% for value in values %}
    <p>{{ value }}</p>
{% endfor %}
