title: convert list of dicts to list
body: <p>I have a list of fields in this form</p>
  
  <pre><code>fields = [{'name':'count', 'label':'Count'},{'name':'type', 'label':'Type'}]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to extract just the names and put it in a list. Currently, I'm doing this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>names = [] 
  for field in fields:
      names.append(field['name'])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there another way to do the same thing, that doesn't involve looping through the list.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using python 2.7.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.!</p>
