django template link to dynamic url

I try to make a list from a dictionary, where I also have the name of a view stored (values.1). So with every hit of the for loop I can link to the right page. Problem is, I can't figure out how I should fix the {{ url "view_name" }}.

My template:

<table>
    <tr>
        <th colspan="2">Timers</th>
    </tr>       
    {% for key, values in timers.items %}
    <tr>
        <td>{{ key }}</td>
        <td><a href="{{ url values.1 }}">{{ values.0 }}</a></td>
    </tr>
    {% endfor %}
</table>

How can I change the url so it directs to value.1?

Sample of timers: (keep in mind that views names are now still pretty much the same but they wont be on other occasions)

OrderedDict([('short job', ['Now', 'short_job']), ('medium job', ['Now', 'medium_job']), ('long job', ['Now', 'long_job']), ('booze', ['Now', 'booze']), ('drugs', ['Now', 'drugs']), ('heist', ['Now', 'heist']),  ('bullet deal', ['Now', 'bullet_deal'])])

url is a template tag and not a variable, so changing:

{{ url values.1 }}

into:

{% url values.1 %}

should do the trick.
