It's not really the long methods that are bad practice it's more leaving them like that that is bad.

I mean that the actual act of refactoring your sample from:

varaible_1 = 0
variable_2 = 0
for object in queryset :
     if object.condition_condition_a and variable_2 > 0 :
     variable 1+= 1
     .....
     ...    
     . 
      more conditions to alter the variables

return queryset, and context 

to

Status status = new Status();
status.variable1 = 0;
status.variable2 = 0;
for object in queryset :
     if object.condition_condition_a and status.variable2 > 0 :
     status.variable1 += 1
     .....
     ...    
     . 
      more conditions to alter the variables (status)

return queryset, and context 

and then to

class Status {
    variable1 = 0;
    variable2 = 0;
    
    void update(object) {
        if object.condition_condition_a and variable2 > 0 {
            variable1 += 1
        }
    }
};

Status status = new Status();
for object in queryset :
     status.update(object);
     .....
     ...    
     . 
      more conditions to alter the variables (status)

return queryset, and context 

you are now well on the way to not just a much shorter method but a much more useable and understandable one.
