Use enumerate to count the iterations:

count = 0  # In case loop is empty
for count, i in enumerate(range(5), 1):
    print(i)
print(count)

If you want the size of a list use len:

print(len(range(5)))

If you do count = 0 before the loop, it even works with an empty loop, such as range(0, 0).

There are many ways to do it but my two ways would be:

Use len

i = len(range(0, 5))
print i

Use for:

j = 0
for i in range(0, 5):
    # Other things you want to do
    j += 1
print j
