Ansible: Evaluate value of var inside parentheses

This might be a trivial or a duplicate question, but i seem to have exhausted my search and unable to properly frame a query to search, and so here i am with the question.

How to evaluate a value of a variable inside parentheses.

Below is my vars file

patch_version: 6.4
patch_list:
  patch_type1:
    6.4:
      id: 123
      feature: 123

And below is the how i am trying to evaluate

{{ patch_list.patch_type1.{{ patch_version }}.id }}

Unfortunately, there is a number with a decimal point in it, and that's giving me headache.

Any suggestions?

Put the attribute into the brackets. For example

    - debug:
        msg: "{{ patch_list.patch_type1[patch_version].id }}"

gives

    "msg": "123"
