What's the best way to search for a Python dictionary value in a list of dictionaries?

Question

I have the following data structure:

  data = [
      {'site': 'Stackoverflow', 'id': 1},
      {'site': 'Superuser', 'id': 2}, 
      {'site': 'Serverfault', 'id': 3}
  ]

I want to search the above list to see if it has any site with a specific value. For instance, search the above to see if the list contain a dictionary with site = 'Superuser' and return True/False. I can do the above the usual way of looping over each item and comparing them. Is there an alternative way to achieve a search?

Answer 1

any(d['site'] == 'Superuser' for d in data)
