You're trying to use Python syntax in the template. Templates are not
Python. Recall dictionary lookup in templates (what you look to be trying)
is one of the things done by dot in a template:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#variables
Also you probably want to review this doc:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#looping-over-the-form-s-fields
for some examples of how to loop over the fields in a form (and what all you
can access/display for a field) in a template. Also this:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/formsets/#using-a-formset-in-views-and-templates
for some formset-specific info.
