getting desired value from dictionary based on another value

I have following output from a dictionary. 

{'001': {'desc': 'Verify all commands.', 'result': 'P', 'name': '001', 'run_time': '00:00:30', 'start_time': '1382943624', 'end_time': '1382943654'}, 
'002': {'desc': 'Verify all commands.', 'result': 'F', 'name': '002', 'run_time': '00:00:30', 'start_time': '1382943624', 'end_time': '1382943654'}}

What I want is get name from it where result is F? It will be helpful if someone can show me the way to achieve desired output.

This will the list of all the names where result is F

data = {'001': {'desc': 'Verify all commands.', 'result': 'P', 'name': '001', 'run_time': '00:00:30', 'start_time': '1382943624', 'end_time': '1382943654'}, 
'002': {'desc': 'Verify all commands.', 'result': 'F', 'name': '002', 'run_time': '00:00:30', 'start_time': '1382943624', 'end_time': '1382943654'},
'003': {'desc': 'Verify all commands.', 'result': 'F', 'name': '003', 'run_time': '00:00:30', 'start_time': '1382943624', 'end_time': '1382943654'}}

print [value["name"] for key, value in data.items() if value["result"] == "F"]

Output

['002', '003']

Iterate over dict.values:

for v in my_dict.values():
   if v['result'] == 'F':
      print v['name']

Demo:

my_dict = {'001': {'desc': 'Verify all commands.', 'result': 'P', 'name': '001','run_time': '00:00:30', 'start_time': '1382943624', 'end_time': '1382943654'},
           '002': {'desc': 'Verify all commands.', 'result': 'F', 'name': '002', 'run_time': '00:00:30', 'start_time': '1382943624', 'end_time': '1382943654'}          }
for v in my_dict.values():
   if v['result'] == 'F':
      print v['name']

output:

002
