Django templatetag custom objects

Hey, I'm struggling with this right now. I am trying to pass my objects to a user in a template so that I can list them, or a list of usernames. Thanks to the help I got from here, I have this.

from django.template import Library, Node, Template, VariableDoesNotExist,      TemplateSyntaxError, \
                        Variable
from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.exceptions import ImproperlyConfigured
from django.db import models

register = Library()

class GetAllUsers(Node):
    def __init__(self, varname):
        # Save the variable that we will assigning the users to
        self.varname = varname
    def render(self, context):
        # Save all the user objects to the variable and return the context to the  template
        context[self.varname] = User.objects.all()
        return ''

@register.tag(name="get_all_users") 
def get_all_users(parser, token):
    # First break up the arguments that have been passed to the template tag
    bits = token.contents.split()
    if len(bits) != 3:
        raise TemplateSyntaxError, "get_all_users tag takes exactly 2 arguments"
    if bits[1] != 'as':
        raise TemplateSyntaxError, "1st argument to get_all_users tag must be 'as'"
    return GetAllUsers(bits)

#register.tag('get_all_users', get_all_users)

When I use this code with

{% load getusers%} 
{% get_all_users as allusers%}
{% for user in allusers%}
     {{user}}
{% endfor%}

In my template, I get a Caught TypeError when rendering: unhashable type: 'list'. And it is {% get_all_users as allusers%} that causes this. I tried {% for the user in get_all_users%}, it passes, but does not print anything.
