How to make a method from a list subclass in which there are several dictionaries that will display the value from the key?

Question

Python

class ContactList(list):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        self.kwargs = kwargs

    def search_by_name(self, name):
        if name in self.kwargs:
            return self.kwargs.values()

all_contacts = ContactList(a=1, b=2, c=3)
print(all_contacts)
all_contacts.search_by_name('c')

#Метод search_by_contact должен вывести 3, но он ничего не выводит а в переменной all_contacts пустой список
#Подскажите как можно решить эту задачу

Answer 1

return self.kwargs.values() will return you the values ​​of all keys in the dictionary. You need to change the method like this:

def search_by_name(self, name):
    return self.kwargs.get(name)

In this case, you will either return the value of the name key, if it exists, or None if it does not exist.
