Filter list of dictionaries

Question

This is my example:

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


        

Answer 1

Something like this should work

last_name = ''

for d in dictList:
  if d['first'] == 'Christian':
    last_name = d['last']
    break
