Python Function will read a LIST of TUPLES. The structure of the tuple is ("STRING", "STRING","STRING",INT,"GEOGRAPHIC VALUE")

This Geographic value can have 5 values "zip", "city", "county", "state" and "country"

Now if a Tuple has elements where geographic values are (....,"zip"),(....,"county"), (....,"country") then function should return the element/tuple which contains "zip"

Examples :

Input : [('aa', 'bb', 'cc', 1, 'state'), ('aa', 'bb', 'cc', 2, 'zip')]

Output : ['aa', 'bb', 'cc', 2, 'zip']

In other words 'zip' is higher priority(hp) than 'city'.

'city' is HP than 'county',

'county' is HP than 'state'

and 'state' is HP than 'country'.

I have written a code for that but being new to Python, the code looks clunky. Is there any shorter method?

Your help is much appreciated. Here is my code:

def unique_list(input):
my_list = input
print(my_list)
last_list = []
zipcnt = -1
citicnt = -1
countycnt = -1
statecnt = -1
return_list_zip = []
return_list_city = []
return_list_county = []
return_list_state = []
return_list_country = []
for j in range(len(my_list)):
 if(my_list[j][4]) == "zip":
 zipcnt = len(my_list)
 return_list_zip = list(my_list[j])
 continue
 elif (my_list[j][4] == 'city' and zipcnt == -1):
 citycnt = len(my_list)
 return_list_city = list(my_list[j])
 continue
 
 elif (my_list[j][4] == 'county' and zipcnt == -1 and citicnt == -1):

if(zipcnt != -1):
 return_list = return_list_zip

 return_list = return_list_city
elif(countycnt != -1):
 return_list = return_list_county

return return_list
input_list = [ ("aa", "bb", "cc", 1,"state"), ("aa","bb","cc",2,"zip")]
input_list1 = [("XX","YY","NN",1,"country"),("XX","YY","NN",2,"city"), ("XX","YY","NN",3,"state")]
input_list2 = [("NN","FF","PP",10,"state"),("NN","FF","PP",11,"country"),("NN","FF","PP",10,"city")]
print(unique_list(input_list))
print(unique_list(input_list1))
print(unique_list(input_list2))

Requirement: Python Function will read a LIST of TUPLES. The structure of the tuple is ("STRING", "STRING","STRING",INT,"GEOGRAPHIC VALUE")

This Geographic value can have 5 values "zip", "city", "county", "state" and "country"

Now if a Tuple has elements where geographic values are (....,"zip"),(....,"county"), (....,"country") then function should return the element/tuple which contains "zip"

Examples :

Input : [('aa', 'bb', 'cc', 1, 'state'), ('aa', 'bb', 'cc', 2, 'zip')]

Output : ['aa', 'bb', 'cc', 2, 'zip']

In other words 'zip' is higher piority(hp) than 'city'.

'city' is HP than 'county',

'county' is HP than 'state'

and 'state' is HP than 'country'.

I have written a code for that but BEING NEW TO PYTHON,

the code looks CLUNKY. Is there any shorter method?

Your help is much appreciated. Here Is my code:
