Need help with getting Key, Value out of dicts in lists

This is an example of the data I'm working with. The key/value pairs may
come in any order. There are some keys like the 'Resource_group_id' key and
the 'Name' key which will always be present, but other lists may have
unique keys.
alist = [[{u'Value': 'shibboleth-prd', u'Key': 'Name'}, {u'Value': 'kvmu',
u'Key': 'Billing'},
{u'Value': '20179204-181622543367489', u'Key':
'Resource_group_id'}],
[{u'Value': '20172857-152037106154311', u'Key':
'Resource_group_id'},
{u'Value': 'shibboleth-tst', u'Key': 'Name'}]]
What I want to do is something along the lines of:
for a in alist:
if a['Resource_group_id'] == '01234829-2041523815431':
print the Value of 'Name'
print the Value of 'Billing'
I've found I can do the following, to print the value of 'Name' but that
only works if the 'Resource_group_id' key is the first key in the list and
the 'Name' key is in the second slot. If each list contained the same
keys, I could probably sort the keys and use [num] to pull back values, but
they don't.
for a in alist:
if a[0]['Key'] == 'Resource_group_id' and a[0]['Value'] ==
'20172857-152037106154311':
print a[1]['Value']
There has to be a way to do this but I've been pounding away at this for
hours. Any help appreciated. I'm new to Python and not a programmer, so
go easy on me. :)
