What is the python equivalent of JavaScript's Array.prototype.find?

Question

I'm looking for something like: find(pred, iter) in python

obj = { 
         "foo_list": [ 
           {"name": "aaaa", "id": 111},
           {"name": "bbbb", "id": 222},
           {"name": "cccc", "id": 333}
         ]
}

How to: find(lambda x: x.get("name") == "bbbb", obj.get("foo_list", []))

Answer 1

def find(pred, iterable):
  for element in iterable:
      if pred(element):
          return element
  return None

# usage:
find(lambda x: x.get("name") == "bbbb", obj.get("foo_list", []))
