A fun python exercise

# Exercise #0
# - Implement findPeople
# - findPeople takes 1 arg: a list of dicts of the form {'firstName': '__', 'lastName': '__'}
# - An element of DATA "matches" an element of the input list if it matches both firstName and lastName
# - findPeople should return a list of the same length as the input, with "matches" corresponding to
#     each element of the input (for examples, see tests below)
# - If no match is found in DATA for some element of the input, the corresponding spot in the output array should be None
# - If multiple matches are found in DATA for an element of the input, choose the match with the largest age
