If you know which dict in the list has the key you re looking for  then you already have the solution  as presented by Matt and Ignacio   However  if you don t know which dict has this key  then you could do this   def getValueOf k  L       for d in L          if k in d              return d k

You haven t provided enough context to provide an accurate answer  i e  how do you want to handle identical keys in multiple dicts    One answer is to iterate the list  and attempt to get  d   mylist      a   1   b   2     c   3   d   4     e   5   f   6   myvalues    i  d   for i in mylist if  d  in i    Another answer is to access the dict directly  by list index   though you have to know that the key is present  mylist 1   d

First of all don t use  list  as variable name   If you have simple dictionaries with unique keys then you can do the following note that new dictionary object with all items from sub-dictionaries will be created    res       for line in listOfDicts     res update line  res  d    gt  gt  gt  4   Otherwise   getValues   lambda key inputData   subVal key  for subVal in inputData if key in subVal  getValues  d   listOfDicts   gt  gt  gt   4    Or very base   def get value listOfDicts  key       for subVal in listOfDicts          if key in subVal              return subVal key
