Find first in sequence (simple question)

[Larry Bates]

One easy way (not tested):

#
# target value you are searching for
# nlist holds list of values to search
#
nlist=[1,3,5,7,9]
target=2
larger_value=None
for value in nlist:
    if value > target:
        larger_value=value
        break

print larger_value
