a_user = User.objects.filter(username="djanog")
returns a QuerySet, not a single instance of a user. If you want it to be a
single instance, change the 'filter' call to 'get'. As it is your {{ user
}} in the template is "working" because it prints the representation of the
query set, but the attempts to access the individual User attributes don't
work since those are not attributes of a QuerySet.
