There is an inflexibility indeed, because the template is meant for
designers, not programmers.
Try {% for key, value in MyList.items %} instead.
A hackier solution would be to write your custom template tag like {%
get_from_dict foo bar %} to try to get foo[bar]. But in this case you can
just use items(), as it's often the case when iterating over dictionaries.
