I'm trying to iterate list in django template. In python it looks like below and it works:
l=[lots ot touples]
for li in range(len(l)):
print(l[li])
but in django template it does not work. My question is : what is simpliest equivalent of iterating list in django template ?
My django template:
<html>
<body>
{% for w in l %}
<li>{{ w }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</body>
</html>
Thank you in advance
P.S. I have added touples to list to show exactly what is the problem Another one PS
Output of www site ( i'm displaying unread emails form gmail) looks like below:
('From1', 'subject1', 'Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:46:34 +0100')
('From2', 'subject2', 'Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:48:58 +0100')
('From3', 'subject3', 'Thu, 12 Nov 2015 14:12:34 +0100')
I want every item in list assign to touple. What i'm trying to do is to assign touple , for instance:
touple1 = ('From1', 'subject1', 'Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:46:34 +0100')
so i can later call 'from', 'subject' or 'date'
regards
Maybe i will show it in another way to make it more clear: for loop to iterate through the email messages (list of touples )
email1 = list[1] //touple
email2 = list[2] //touple
(...)
from1 = email1[0]
subject1 = email1[1]
date1 = email1[3]
and so on.
Solved. Thank you all for help. Every solution was for me helpfull. I would like to mark two answers ( if it possbile ) as a very usefull for me showing different way to solve same problem. I would like to mention that every help was very usefull for me. Do you mind if i will mark as correct answers Alasdair and Noah answer ( dunno how many I can mark) ?

Given the following list of tuples:
emails = [
('From1', 'subject1', 'Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:46:34 +0100')
('From2', 'subject2', 'Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:48:58 +0100')
('From3', 'subject3', 'Thu, 12 Nov 2015 14:12:34 +0100')
]
You can loop through the tuples, and use .0 or .2 to access the elements by index:
{% for email in emails %}
{{ email.0 }} - {{ email.1 }} - {{ email.2 }}
{% endfor %}
Or, you can unpack the tuple variables:
{% for from, subject, date in emails %}
{{ from }} - {{ subject }} - {{ date }}
{% endfor %}
As an aside, your Python code is not very pythonic. Instead of looping over a range,
emails = [...]
for li in range(len(emails)):
print(emails[li])
you can loop over the list directly
for email in emails:
print(emails)
You can do the same unpacking as in the Django template.
for from, sender, date in emails:
print(from, sender, date)
