All - I'm currently writing a toy program as I learn python that acts as a simple address book. I've run across a situation in my search function where I want to iterate across a filtered list. My code is working just fine, but I'm wondering if this is the most "elegant" way to do this. Essentially, I'm searching the dict self.contacts for a key that matches the pattern entered by the user. If so, I print the value associated with that key. A pastie to the method is below, any help/ advice is appreciated:
