looping through list in django template

I have a dictionary:

babies = {'clothes list':['a','b','c','d'], 'lots of toys': 'yes'}

Now in the template I want to do the equivalent of:

for cloth in babies['clothes list']:
    print cloth

I have filter key_lookup defined. So doing this works in template:

{{ babies|key_lookup:'lots of toys' }}

But doing 

{% for cloth in babies|key_lookup:'clothes list' %}

doesn't work.

The above dictionary is just an example. I can not modify the dictionary keys. key_lookup is defined as

def key_lookup(the_dict, key):
   return the_dict.get(key, None)

Have you tried using with? If it's just a syntax issue, this might work:

{% with clothes=babies|key_lookup:'clothes list' %}
    {% for cloth in clothes %}
        ...
    {% endfor %}
{% endwith %}
