For these problems exists Template Variables.
You've got your view:
From django.shortcuts import render_to_response
def myView():
#how many Users has my page?
userCount = len(User.objects.all())
#give the template vars to the template and return the
rendered html
return render_to_response('my_template.html', {'user_count'
: userCount})
And this is your template:
<html><head><title>Hi</title></head><body>
<table>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight:
bold;">UserCount:</span> {{userCount}}</td>
<td><p>Hi</p>
</tr>
</body></html>
