removing dictionary element in list using (key, value)
#1
# list of dictionary
students = [{'id': '001', 'name': 'John'},
            {'id': '100', 'name': 'Park'},
            {'id': '010', 'name': 'Bjarne'}
           ]

# removing student who's name is Park in students list
def erase_student(key, val):
    for student in students:
        if student[key] == val:
            students.remove(student)

erase_student('name', 'Bjarne')
I want to replace for statement to code like this:
student = student in students if student[key] == value
students.remove(student)
But I can't make proper shorter code.
I'll be thankful if you give me advice.
