Find object in list that has attribute equal to some value (that meets any condition)

next((x for x in test_list if x.value == value), None)

This gets the first item from the list that matches the condition, and returns None if no item matches. It’s my preferred single-expression form.

However,

for x in test_list:
    if x.value == value:
        print("i found it!")
        break

The naive loop-break version, is perfectly Pythonic — it’s concise, clear, and efficient. To make it match the behavior of the one-liner:

for x in test_list:
    if x.value == value:
        print("i found it!")
        break
else:
    x = None

This will assign None to x if you don’t break out of the loop.
