Remove meta data from dictionary Based on Boolean value from Python

Question

i want to remove the json data from the list based on the allocation.If allocation:True then, that particular josn should remove from the dictionary. in the below data {"paperWidth": "4","allocation": True,"model": "RB3150","connType": ["Lan","Wifi","BlueTooth"],"commandSet": "TVSPOS"}

so this should remove from my final object.How to do this in python.

d = {"allPrinters": [{"models": [{"paperWidth": "4","allocation": True,"model": "RB3150","connType": ["Lan","Wifi","BlueTooth"],"commandSet": "TVSPOS"},{"paperWidth": "4","allocation": False,"model": "RB3151","connType": ["Lan","Wifi"],"commandSet": "TVSPOS"}],"active": True,"make": "TVS","_id": "59e6f670f532eb1260b50cd9"},{"models": [{"paperWidth": "4","allocation": False,"model": "EP3160","connType": ["Lan","Wifi"],"commandSet": "ESCPOS"},{"paperWidth": "4","allocation": True,"model": "EP3161","connType": ["Lan"],"commandSet": "ESCPOS"}],"active": True,"make": "EPSON","_id": "59e6fc8ff532eb1260b50cf4"}]}

I'm not sure if the thing you want to remove is the whole printer or just the model, but this should work for the former case and is simple to convert to the latter (dump the continue and replace d['allPrinters'] with model):

for i, printer in enumerate(d['allPrinters']):
     for model in printer['models']:
         if model['allocation']:
             d['allPrinters'].pop(i)
             continue
