a=['May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December', 'January', 'February'] b=[ {'actualscore1': 550, 'forecastedScore1': 33, 'unit': 'u2', 'account': 'a2', 'domain': 'd2', 'location': 'l2', 'year': 2021, 'month': 'October'}, {'actualscore1': 550, 'forecastedScore1': 34, 'unit': 'u1', 'account': 'A1', 'domain': 'd1', 'location': 'l1', 'year': 2021, 'month': 'November'}]

An approach using list comprehension:
keys = ['actualscore1', 'forecastedScore1', 'month'] # keys to extract output = [next(({k: dct[k] for k in keys} for dct in b if dct['month'] == month), 0) for month in a] print(output) # [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, {'actualscore1': 550, 'forecastedScore1': 33, 'month': 'October'}, {'actualscore1': 550, 'forecastedScore1': 34, 'month': 'November'}, 0, 0, 0]
