django- accessing items in a python dictionary

[Alan Mo]

My dictionary is as follows:

data={"BE1234":"abc", "BA3212":"efg", etc}

I call it through django templates. According to the online manual, they say "if your context contained a dictionary data, the following would display the keys and values of the dictionary":

{% for key, value in data.items %}
{{ key }}: {{ value }}
{% endfor %}

I get the error: TemplateSyntaxError: 'for' statements with five words should end in 'reversed': for key, value in data.items

Can anyone help me fix this error? It's really frustrating. Just wondering if I'm doing something stupid. Thanks in advance.

What version of Django are you using? This particular error message
was removed from Django five years ago (before Django 1.0):

https://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/5443

(not-so-coincidentally when the support for iterating over dictionary
items like you are trying was added).

If you are changing and old project you'll need to stick to docs from
the version of Django you have, or upgrade the project. If you are
just starting out you should definitely delete whatever Django you
have installed and start with 1.4 instead.

I believe that etc. in this case is an abbreviation for etcetera.
