How to write python code in HTML in Django?

Question

I need to create a path in an HTML code that is used to generate a download link.

   {% for data in all_data %}
   {% path_zip = '/home/harish/Desktop/cvision/users_output_files/{0}.zip'.format(data.id) %}
      <tr>
          <td> {{data.id}} </td>
          <td> {{data.childname}} </td>
          <td> {{data.age}} </td>
          <td> {{data.gender}} </td>
          <td> <a href={{path_zip}} download></a> </td>
      </tr>
  {% endfor %}

But this code is not working. And the following is the error.

Invalid block tag on line 40: 'path_zip', expected 'empty' or 'endfor'. Did you forget to register or load this tag?

How do I solve it?

The absolute path here is really a big problem, will it work for other users too? — funnydman

You cant, and dont need to write python here, you could use a custom template tag but it would be overkill, just insert the value like you did the others

<td> <a href="/home/harish/Desktop/cvision/users_output_files/{{data.id}}.zip" download></a>

This is what I need to create as a link: href="/home/harish/Desktop/cvision/users_output_files/'{{data.id}}'/'{{data.id}}'.zip'" But it didn't work

That's fine, just remove the single quotes.
