Checking values for a dict of objects in python

Question

I have a list of dicts e.g. [{'X':0,'Y':0},{'X':1,'Y':2}] and I want to check to see if every X and Y value is equal to 0. I have tried some methods such as the all() function and the .values() function but I have been unsuccessful but maybe I have been using them wrong.

I tried all(value=={'X':0,'Y':0} for value in mydict) but to no success. Does anyone have any suggestions?

`all(value=={'X':0,'Y':0} for value in mydict)` - This looks correct to me. How specifically did this fail? — 0x5453, Mar 29 '22 at 19:50
@0x5453 it give an error with {AtttributeError}'dict' object has no attribute '__dict__' — Jack Timber, Mar 29 '22 at 19:53
@JackTimber That line of code cannot raise that error. The code you are running is different from the code that you are showing us. I suggest you edit your question to include a [mcve]. — 0x5453, Mar 29 '22 at 19:55

I think what is missing is the .values() operator?

ListOfDicts= [{'X':0,'Y':0},{'X':1,'Y':2}] 


for  dictionaryIndex in range(len(ListOfDicts)):
    result = all(value==0 for value in ListOfDicts[dictionaryIndex].values())

    if result == True:
        print ('The values in the dictionary at index : ' + str(dictionaryIndex) + ' ARE equal to zero.')
    else :
        print ('The values in the dictionary at index : ' + str(dictionaryIndex) + ' are NOT equal to zero.')
