How can I use this for loop variable in django?

Question

CODE:

<form>
    <div class="form-group">
    <label for="sel1">Select list (select one):</label>
    <select class="form-control" id="sel1" style="width: 96px">
        {% for i in 150 %} <!-- here is what I ask for -->
            <option>{{ i + 1989 }}</option>
        {% endfor %}
    </select>
    </div>
</form>

I want to make year select form which is from 1900 to 2050.

How can I use i variable in django template tag?

Create list of range and return from view, not directly within template. — Anup Yadav, Mar 16 '18 at 08:41
Template tags is also good option but to have clean code for business logic I would suggest use in View. Do you need it for Addition? like `{{ i + 1989 }}` — Anup Yadav, Mar 16 '18 at 08:45
@AnupYadav Thank you, but what does `business logic` means?, Yes I need it for addition — touchingtwist, Mar 16 '18 at 08:46
Business logic means all data and further manipulation like *selection while edit* is useful if you keep that in VIEW file. Nothing much, this way you can avoid creating duplicate code. — Anup Yadav, Mar 16 '18 at 08:48

You can use Template range loop from django

syntax

{% range start:step:end as i %}
     {{ i }}
{% endrange %}

Example

{% range 1900:1:2050 as i %}
     {{ i }}
{% endrange %}
