Filter dictionaries with specific keys (using list comprehension)

#python 2.7.12

    # Create tasks list from test_dict
    tasks = test_dict["tasks"]

    # Update the same list tasks with different content (save space)
    # tasks = filter(lambda d: d["id"] == id, tasks)
    tasks = [d for d in tasks if d["id"] == id]
    
    # Pick the last dictionary and return it
