My problem is simple: I have **Users** who own **Assets** or **Assets** 
which belong to Users If you prefer and I cannot make it to retrieve the 
number (count) of **Assets** each **User** has. I know this might be sound 
silly to most of you but I am new to python/django (coming from PHP/MySQL) 
and I do not know how things work here. I do not want to be engaged with 
raw SQL - this would be my last choice If nothing else works. 

(*) I have removed all non-related raws from the code

**Users**

    class Users(models.Model):
        firstname = models.CharField(max_length=100)
        lastname = models.CharField(max_length=100)

**Assets**

    class Assets(models.Model):
        serial = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=100)
        user = models.ForeignKey('Users', blank=True, null=True)
    
        # this is what I am playing with to retrieve the number of assets 
each user owns
        @classmethod
            def user_assets(self):
                return Assets.objects.filter(user=user).count()

**views.py** 

    class UserList(ListView):
        model = Users
        def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
            context = super(UserList, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
            context['user_assets'] = self.model.user_assets()
            return context

**template** 

    {% for user in object_list %}
         <tr>
             <td>{{ user.id }}</td>
             <td>
                 {{ user_assets }}
             </td>
         </tr>
    {% endfor %}

How can I get that number? I have read about aggregations, annotations and 
filters but can't really get it.

I am looking for a simple solution by using class based views and easily 
expandable (I may want to add other models later)
