Using langcodes package, how do I obtain the exact language object from the display name? For example,

langcodes.find("English (United Kingdom)") returns Language.make(language='en')

instead of returning Language.make(language='en', territory='GB') which is returned by langcodes.get("en-GB")

I want to use this to check, for example if "English (United Kingdom)" == en-GB

Sadly, it doesn't look like the package supports that functionality. From the docs: [T]his method currently ignores the parenthetical expressions that come from .display_name(). This means that find would not be able to return the territory from expressions like "English (United States)" or "English (United Kingdom)".
If you absolutely must use this package, the best option I can see is doing some sort of reverse-engineering of the Language.display_name method found here.
