i want pull number of likes, preferably number. how 1 go doing this?

as generator, there's no good way specific element. can either iterate on , check each element if it's 1 you're looking for, or, if need more 1 element it, convert dictionary.

this 1 way convert it:

new_dictionary = {} name, value in datas:     new_dictionary[name] = value 

with likes with:

likes = new_dictionary['likes'] 

or if want 'items' it:

for name, value in datas:     if name == 'likes':         likes = value
