Question

I have a list of dictionary, for example my given key value is ‘jerry’.

Is there a way to loop to the list and return only dictionary with the key value name of ‘jerry’?

lst= [{'name':'tom','score':5},{'name':'jerry','score':10},{'name':'jason','score':8}]

It should return

{'name':'jerry','score':10}

Answer 1

You can get all suitable elements with a generator expression and pick the first with next:

next(d for d in lst if d['name'] == 'jerry')
