search_name method returns list and each element of list work as a dictionary i.e. they can be queried by giving the key of the data, here key will be name.
 

Syntax : names[0][‘name’]
Here names is the list return by search_name method and names[0] refer to the first element of list. 
Return : It returns string i.e name.

# importing the module
import imdb
  
# creating instance of IMDb
ia = imdb.IMDb()
  
# name of the person
name = "Nawazudin Siddiqui"
  
# searching the name of the person
search = ia.search_person(name)
 
# printing whole list
print(search)
 
# printing the name
for i in range(len(search)):
    print(search[i]['name'])


output : 
 

[Person id:1596350[http] name:_Nawazuddin Siddiqui_]
