You need to add a name attribute to your inputs, and then you can use this name to retrieve a list of values, using Django QueryDict getlist method:

HTML:

<form method="POST">
  {% for val in value_list %}
    <input type='text' value='{{ val }}' name='my_list'>{{ val }}</input>
  {% endfor %}
</form>

View:

def view1(request):
    value_list = [1,2,3,4,5] # it will change every time view1 will get request
    if request.method == "POST":
        values_from_user = request.POST.getlist('my_list')
    return render ('ip_form.html', 'value_list': value_list)

values_from_user will be a list of input values from your form (or an empty list if form had zero input elements).

Please note that I changed your form method to POST, because otherwise the request.method test in your view would be meaningless.
