Python Count Elements in a List of Objects with Matching Attributes

Question

I am trying to find a simple and fast way of counting the number of Objects in a list that match a criteria. e.g.

class Person:
    def __init__(self, Name, Age,         


        

Answer 1

Personally I think that defining a function is more simple over multiple uses:

def count(seq, pred):
    return sum(1 for v in seq if pred(v))

print(count(PeopleList, lambda p: p.Gender == "F"))
print(count(PeopleList, lambda p: p.Age < 20))

Particularly if you want to reuse a query.
