Python check if value is in a list of dicts

Question

I have a list of dicts e.g.

[{\'name\':\'Bernard\',\'age\':7},{\'name\':\'George\',\'age\':4},{\'name\':\'Reginald\',\'age\':6}]

I\'d like to c

Answer 1

I think a list comprehension would do the trick here too.

names = [i['name'] for i in l]

Then use it like so:

'Bernard' in names (True)
'Farkle' in names (False)

Or a one liner (If it's only one check)

'Bernard' in [i['name'] for i in l] (True)
