Get objects who have a field that contains a string

Question

I have a list of objects and I want to only return objects that have a field that contains a certain value.

Is there a more terse/pythonic way of doing this:

list-o-dicts = get-my-objects()

for dict in list-o-dicts:
    if 'mystring' in dict['myfield']:
        pprint( dict )

Does python have a cool, sugary, shortcut for doing this?

Answer 1

Try filter:

filter(lambda x: 'mystring' in x['myfield'], list-o-dicts)
