This is an example of the data I'm working with. The key/value pairs may come in any order. There are some keys like the 'Resource_group_id' key and the 'Name' key which will always be present, but other lists may have unique keys.
alist = [[{u'Value': 'shibboleth-prd', u'Key': 'Name'}, {u'Value': 'kvmu', u'Key': 'Billing'}, {u'Value': '20179204-181622543367489', u'Key': 'Resource_group_id'}], [{u'Value': '20172857-152037106154311', u'Key': 'Resource_group_id'}, {u'Value': 'shibboleth-tst', u'Key': 'Name'}]] What I want to do is something along the lines of: for a in alist: if a['Resource_group_id'] == '01234829-2041523815431': print the Value of 'Name' print the Value of 'Billing' I've found I can do the following, to print the value of 'Name' but that only works if the 'Resource_group_id' key is the first key in the list and the 'Name' key is in the second slot. If each list contained the same keys, I could probably sort the keys and use [num] to pull back values, but they don't. for a in alist: if a[0]['Key'] == 'Resource_group_id' and a[0]['Value'] == '20172857-152037106154311': print a[1]['Value'] There has to be a way to do this but I've been pounding away at this for hours. Any help appreciated. I'm new to Python and not a programmer, so go easy on me. :) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
