This is not possible directly because Django thinks that "x"
is the key to lookup in mylist
– instead of the value of x. So, when x = 5
, Django tries to look up mylist["x"]
instead of mylist[5]
.
Use the following filter as workaround:
@register.filter
def lookup(d, key):
return d[key]
and use it like
{{ mylist|lookup:x }}
