Question

I want create a \"single line code

Answer 1

In list comprehension the loop variable i becomes global. After the iteration in the for loop it is a reference to the last element in your list.

If you want all matches then assign the list to a variable:

filtered =  [ i for i in my_list if i=='two']

If you want only the first match you could use a function generator

try:
     m = next( i for i in my_list if i=='two' )
except StopIteration:
     m = None
