how to find a particular key in output of python

Question

I have a python function rows which output as:

(
 [u'ABC'],
 [u'DEF'], 
 [u'GHI']
)

I want to search DEF in this and print("Hello")

I did this:

for i in rows[]:
    if i == "DEF":
        print("Hello")

But this is not working. Can someone please guide

Answer 1

rows = ( [u'ABC'], [u'DEF'], [u'GHI'])

print rows

for i in rows:
    print i
    if i == [u"DEF"]:
        print("Hello")
    if  i[0] == u"DEF":
        print "world"

I do not know, what exactly is your problem. The string is inside a list. Either you compare the complete list with a list of this string or the first element of the list with the string itself.
