将接受的答案放在函数中，以便于重用

def get_item(collection, key, target):
    return next((item for item in collection if item[key] == target), None)

也可以写成

   get_item_lambda = lambda collection, key, target : next((item for item in collection if item[key] == target), None)

结果

    key = "name"
    target = "Pam"
    print(get_item(target_list, key, target))
    print(get_item_lambda(target_list, key, target))

    #{'name': 'Pam', 'age': 7}
    #{'name': 'Pam', 'age': 7}

如果键可能不在目标字典中，请使用dict。get和避免KeyError

def get_item(collection, key, target):
    return next((item for item in collection if item.get(key, None) == target), None)

get_item_lambda = lambda collection, key, target : next((item for item in collection if item.get(key, None) == target), None)

使用列表推导式的一个简单方法是，如果l是列表

l = [
{"name": "Tom", "age": 10},
{"name": "Mark", "age": 5},
{"name": "Pam", "age": 7}
]

然后

[d['age'] for d in l if d['name']=='Tom']

你可以使用列表推导式:

def search(name, people):
    return [element for element in people if element['name'] == name]

你可以试试这个:

''' lst: list of dictionaries '''
lst = [{"name": "Tom", "age": 10}, {"name": "Mark", "age": 5}, {"name": "Pam", "age": 7}]

search = raw_input("What name: ") #Input name that needs to be searched (say 'Pam')

print [ lst[i] for i in range(len(lst)) if(lst[i]["name"]==search) ][0] #Output
>>> {'age': 7, 'name': 'Pam'} 

dicts=[
{"name": "Tom", "age": 10},
{"name": "Mark", "age": 5},
{"name": "Pam", "age": 7}
]

from collections import defaultdict
dicts_by_name=defaultdict(list)
for d in dicts:
    dicts_by_name[d['name']]=d

print dicts_by_name['Tom']

#output
#>>>
#{'age': 10, 'name': 'Tom'}

people = [
{'name': "Tom", 'age': 10},
{'name': "Mark", 'age': 5},
{'name': "Pam", 'age': 7}
]

def search(name):
    for p in people:
        if p['name'] == name:
            return p

search("Pam")
