鸭子将比列表理解或过滤器快得多。它在你的对象上建立一个索引，这样查找就不需要扫描每一个项目。

PIP安装鸭

from ducks import Dex

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

# Build the index
dex = Dex(dicts, {'name': str, 'age': int})

# Find matching objects
dex[{'name': 'Pam', 'age': 7}]

结果:[{'name': 'Pam'， 'age': 7}]

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']

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")

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)

这是在字典列表中搜索值的一般方法:

def search_dictionaries(key, value, list_of_dictionaries):
    return [element for element in list_of_dictionaries if element[key] == value]

这里提出的大多数(如果不是全部)实现都有两个缺陷:

他们假设只传递一个键来进行搜索，而对于复杂的字典，有更多的键可能是有趣的 它们假定所有传递用于搜索的键都存在于字典中，因此当KeyError不存在时，它们不会正确处理。

更新后的命题:

def find_first_in_list(objects, **kwargs):
    return next((obj for obj in objects if
                 len(set(obj.keys()).intersection(kwargs.keys())) > 0 and
                 all([obj[k] == v for k, v in kwargs.items() if k in obj.keys()])),
                None)

也许不是最python化的，但至少更安全一点。

用法:

>>> obj1 = find_first_in_list(list_of_dict, name='Pam', age=7)
>>> obj2 = find_first_in_list(list_of_dict, name='Pam', age=27)
>>> obj3 = find_first_in_list(list_of_dict, name='Pam', address='nowhere')
>>> 
>>> print(obj1, obj2, obj3)
{"name": "Pam", "age": 7}, None, {"name": "Pam", "age": 7}

要点。
