简单地使用列表理解:

[i for i in dct if i['name'] == 'Pam'][0]

示例代码:

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

print([i for i in dct if i['name'] == 'Pam'][0])

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

你可以使用生成器表达式:

>>> dicts = [
...     { "name": "Tom", "age": 10 },
...     { "name": "Mark", "age": 5 },
...     { "name": "Pam", "age": 7 },
...     { "name": "Dick", "age": 12 }
... ]

>>> next(item for item in dicts if item["name"] == "Pam")
{'age': 7, 'name': 'Pam'}

如果你需要处理不存在的项，那么你可以做用户Matt在他的评论中建议的事情，并使用稍微不同的API提供默认值:

next((item for item in dicts if item["name"] == "Pam"), None)

并且要查找项目的索引，而不是项目本身，您可以枚举()列表:

next((i for i, item in enumerate(dicts) if item["name"] == "Pam"), None)

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'} 

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}]

我会像这样创建一个字典的字典:

names = ["Tom", "Mark", "Pam"]
ages = [10, 5, 7]
my_d = {}

for i, j in zip(names, ages):
    my_d[i] = {"name": i, "age": j}

或者，使用与问题中完全相同的信息:

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

for d in info_list:
    my_d[d["name"]] = d

然后你可以执行my_d["Pam"]，得到{"name": "Pam"， "age": 7}

为@FrédéricHamidi添加一点点。

如果你不确定字典列表中是否有键，这样做会有帮助:

next((item for item in dicts if item.get("name") and item["name"] == "Pam"), None)
