Search an entire array for a value within a for loop in Python

Question

I'm PLSQL programming and now I'm learning Python. I want to code a simple for loop and print a value if the condition is true. But How can I search a entire array? Do you have any idea? Thanks

v_names = ['Gustavo', 'Tim', 'Matt', 'Bjorn', 'Lars']

for names in v_names:
    if names[x] == 'Gustavo': #wrong code line, I need your help here
        print ('You have a great name!')

Remove [x] (and maybe rename names to name for clarity). — melpomene

Not sure what you want but does this do the job?

v_names =  ['Gustavo', 'Tim', 'Matt', 'Bjorn', 'Lars']

for name in v_names: #This loops over every element in v_names 
    if name == 'Gustavo': #Now if name is equal to Gustavo
        print ('You have a great name!') #Then print stuff.
