Find the index of a dict within a list, by matching the dict's value

Question

I have a list of dicts:

list = [{\'id\':\'1234\',\'name\':\'Jason\'},
        {\'id\':\'2345\',\'name\':\'Tom\'},
        {\'id\':\'3456\',\'name\':\'Art\'}]         


        

Answer 1

I needed a more general solution to account for the possibility of multiple dictionaries in the list having the key value, and a straightforward implementation using list comprehension:

dict_indices = [i for i, d in enumerate(dict_list) if d[dict_key] == key_value]
