I've a dropdown menu in my template and I'm trying to store the selection made by user to filter the doctor objects. But I keep getting this error:
Traceback:

Exception Type: TypeError at /doclistings/
Exception Value: 'instancemethod' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
here is the index template
<div class="signup">
<div class="form-group">
<form action="/doclistings/" method="get" >
<select class="form-control" id="selection" name="selection">
<option><b>Find a Doctor...</b></option>
{% for value, text in form.selection.field.choices %}
<option value="{{ value }}">{{ text }}</option>
{% endfor %}
{% csrf_token %}
</select>
here is the doclisting views where I'm trying to filter based on the selection
def doclistings(request):
d = getVariables(request)
doctors = Doctor.objects.all().order_by('-likes')
paginator = Paginator(doctors, 20) #Show 20 doctors per page
page = page = request.GET.get('page')
# print request.session["selection"]
# print request.session.get("selection", None)
if request.session.get["selection"] == "Dentist":
doctors = Doctor.objects.filter(specialization = "Dentist").order_by('-likes')
try:
doctors = paginator.page(page)
except PageNotAnInteger:
doctors = paginator.page(1)
except EmptyPage:
doctors = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages)
d['doctors'] = doctors
d['paginator'] = paginator
return render_to_response('meddy1/doclistings.html',d)
The doctor model has a specialisation attribute and I'm trying to filter the doctors based on user selection.
