Question

So say I have a dictionary, users, and it has another dictionary named after their uid and contains information like emails, names, etc. Say I want to search for their name, and want to get their uid. Any sane way to do it?

An example of the dictionary structure:

users = {1: {"name": "John Doe", "email": "[e-mail]"},
         2: {"name": "Jane Doe", "email": "[e-mail]"}}

Answer 1

[uid for uid, attrs in users.items() if attrs['name'] == name_you_are_looking_for]
