django - how to get value of key-value queryset from values()

Question

I am stuck not knowing how to do this. i am using values() method to get specific column from db but i dont know how to get the value of that column in queryset, i am getting after values() something like this:

[columnname: value]

I want to get only the value. I think, in views.py i can get the value with object['column'], but how do i get the value in template in django?

or what is the best way to do this?

Use dot notation in Django templates:

{{ object.column }}

Dots have a special meaning in template rendering. A dot in a variable name signifies a lookup. Specifically, when the template system encounters a dot in a variable name, it tries the following lookups, in this order:

Dictionary lookup. Example: foo["bar"]

Attribute lookup. Example: foo.bar

List-index lookup. Example: foo[bar]

it says: Variables and attributes may not begin with underscores. fieldname in my model starts with _fieldname. is that bad? – doniyor Aug 16 '13 at 20:57

{{ object.column }} is the template syntax.
