Accessing Python dict values with the key start characters

Question

I was wondering: would it be possible to access dict values with uncomplete keys (as long as there are not more than one entry for a given string)? For example:

Answer 1

>>> my_dict = {'name': 'Klauss', 'age': 26, 'Date of birth': '15th july'}
>>> next(v for k,v in my_dict.items() if 'Date' in k)
'15th july'


>>> [ v for k,v in my_dict.items() if 'Date' in k]
['15th july']


>>> next( v for k,v in my_dict.items() if k.startswith('Date'))
'15th july'
>>> [ v for k,v in my_dict.items() if k.startswith('Date')]
['15th july']

if i use the above given method i am getting StopIteration exception
