title: How to search a list of tuples in Python
body: <p>So I have a list of tuples such as this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[(1,"juca"),(22,"james"),(53,"xuxa"),(44,"delicia")]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want this list for a tuple whose number value is equal to something.</p>
  
  <p>So that if I do <code>search(53)</code> it will return the index value of <code>2</code></p>
  
  <p>Is there an easy way to do this?</p>
