]

and by searchin

Answer 1

Simply using list comprehension:

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

Sample code:

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'}
