How to access a dictionary element in a Django template

Question

I would like to print out the number of votes that each choice got. I have this code in a template:

{% for choice in choices %}
    {{choice.choice}} - {{votes[choice.id]}} <br />
{% endfor %}

votes is just a dictionary while choices is a model object.

It raises an exception with this message:

"Could not parse the remainder"

Hello @kartik,

Use Dictionary Items:

{% for key, value in my_dictionay.items %}
  <li>{{ key }} : {{ value }}</li>
{% endfor %}

Hope it works!!

Thank you!
