[Django]-How to populate html table with info from list in django

3👍

Pass the list of urls to the template and use the {% for %} tag to loop them.

urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', 'myapp.views.top_urls', name='home'),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

views.py

def top_urls(request):
    p = MyHTMLParser()
    p.feed(urllib2.urlopen('http://www.alexa.com/topsites/global').read())
    urls = p.site_list[:20]
    print urls
    return render(request, 'top_urls.html', {'urls': urls})

top_urls.html

...
<tbody>
    {% for url in urls %}
        <tr>
            <td>Something</td>
            <td>{{ url }}</td>
            <td>something</td>
        </tr>
    {% endfor %}
</tbody>
...
