Generator expressions Python

Viewed 3215

I have a list of dictionaries like the following:

lst = [{'a': 5}, {'b': 6}, {'c': 7}, {'d': 8}]

I wrote a generator expression like:

next((itm for itm in lst if itm['a']==5))

Now the strange part is that though this works for the key value pair of 'a' it throws an error for all other expressions the next time. Expression:

next((itm for itm in lst if itm['b']==6))

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <genexpr>
KeyError: 'b'
