Django Template Language: Using a for loop with else

In the Django template language is there away to use the the else clause with a for loop? I relies I can use an if check before the for loop but that gets repetitive.

python for-else

list = []

for i in list:
    print i
else:
    print 'list is empty'

Django template for-else (my guess)

<h1>{{ game.title}}</h1>

<table>
    <tr> 

{% for platform in game.platform_set.all %}       
    <td>{{ platform.system }} -- ${{ platform.price}}</td> 
{% else %}
    <td>No Platforms</td>
{% endfor %}

    </tr>
</table>

<a href="{% url 'video_games:profile' game.id %}"></a>

I know it's a very old post. Adding an answer for future reference. There is no explicit way to achieve for..else but we can do something like the following.

{% for x in some_list %}
    ... awesome html and more here
    
    {% if forloop.last %}
        ... executes only if this is the last time through the loop
    {% endif %}

{% endfor %}

Hope this helps. More reading here

Use for...empty, which is basically the Django equivalent (replaces the else keyword with empty).
