How to fetch values from dictionary within list python

How to assign key and values to different variables in the dictionary within the list. I'm using for loop but is there any better approach that I can assign and use the values globally.

data = [{'country':[1,'US']}]

for i in data:
    for j in i.items():
        type = j[0]
        rank = j[1][0]
        country = j[1][0]
print(type)
print(rank)
print(country)

There is nothing wrong with your approach using for loop but you can do this to make it a little bit neater: (Also do not shadow the name "type")

data = [{'country': [1, 'US']}]

for i in data:
    for k, v in i.items():
        type_ = k
        rank, country = v

print(type_)
print(rank)
print(country)

Or :

data = [{'country': [1, 'US']}]

for i in data:
    for type_, (rank, country) in i.items():
        print(type_)
        print(rank)
        print(country)

If there is only one dictionary inside your list you can do this as well :

data = [{'country': [1, 'US']}]

type_, (rank, country) = next(iter((data[0].items())))

print(type_)
print(rank)
print(country)
