def find(key, dictionary):
    for k, v in dictionary.iteritems():
        if k == key:
            yield v
        elif isinstance(v, dict):
            for result in find(key, v):
                yield result
        elif isinstance(v, list):
            for d in v:
                for result in find(key, d):
                    yield result

example = {'app_url': '', 'models': [{'perms': {'add': True, 'change': True, 'delete': True}, 'add_url': '/admin/cms/news/add/', 'admin_url': '/admin/cms/news/', 'name': ''}], 'has_module_perms': True, 'name': u'CMS'}

list(find('admin_url', example))

Thanks for the help.
Python3 users should replace dictionary.iteritems() with dictionary.items(). iteritems was removed.
