Reading a list inside a tuple in Django

My problem is that I want to read a list (with a for loop) which is inside a tuple like this:

items = {a, b, [1, 2, 3]}

'a' and 'b' are other data I need.

Now for reading a list I do this, which doesn't work:

{% for item in items.3 %}
  {{item}}
{% endfor %}

So my question is how can I read, with a for loop, a list which is inside a tuple?

Thanks for the help.

I just deleted the part of code and started over. An extra tip: If the list in the tuple is a list of tuples and you want to read a part of the tuple. You have to use a new for loop to read it.

For example, I have this:

items = {a, b, [{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}]}

Now for getting a list out of a tuple:

{% for item in items.3 %}
    {{item}}
{% endfor %}

Now for getting something out of the tuple from the list

I try to do this but it doesn't work, if there are people who know how to fix this, please add a comment:

{% for item in items %}
    {{item.1}}
{% endfor %}

This is my trick to get it done:

{% for item in items %}
    {% for i in item %}
        {{i}}
    {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

To get the counter of the outer most loop check this post: how-to-access-outermost-forloop-counter-with-nested-for-loops-in-django-template

Python indexes in lists/tuples are started from zero. So you should use the index 2:

{% for item in items.2 %}
  {{ item }}
{% endfor %}

BTW, tuples are defined with round brackets, not the curly:

items = (a, b, [1, 2, 3])
