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'}

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]

你可以使用列表推导式:

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

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)

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}

@Frédéric Hamidi的回答很好。在Python 3中。X .next()的语法稍有改变。因此有一个小小的修改:

>>> 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'}

正如@Matt在评论中提到的，你可以添加一个默认值:

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