Getting a list of values from a list of dicts

Question

I have a list of dicts like this:

[{\'value\': \'apple\', \'blah\': 2}, 
 {\'value\': \'banana\', \'blah\': 3} , 
 {\'value\': \'cars\', \'blah\': 4}]
         


        

Answer 1

A very simple way to do it is:

list1=['']
j=0
for i in com_list:
    if j==0:
        list1[0]=(i['value'])
    else:
        list1.append(i['value'])
    j+=1

Output:

['apple', 'banana', 'cars']
