Filter list of dictionaries

Question

This is my example:

dictlist = [{\'first\': \'James\', \'last\': \'Joule\'}, 
            {\'first\': \'James\',\'last\': \'Watt\'},
            {\'first\':          


        

Answer 1

dictlist = [{'first': 'James', 'last': 'Joule'}, {'first': 'James','last': 'Watt'},{'first': 'Christian','last': 'Doppler'}]
the_jameses = [d for d in dictlist if d['first'] == 'James']

Where the resulting list contains only:

[{'first': 'James', 'last': 'Joule'}, {'first': 'James', 'last': 'Watt'}]
