I'm trying to traverse a dictionary looking for partial matches of the key, and I'm not sure how. Here's a sample dictionary:
dict = {00001234 : value1, 20051234 : value2, 20071234 : value3}
Here's what I'm trying to do:
for key in dict:
if key == 0000???? or key == 2005????:
do something with dict[key]
The challenge is that I only care about the first four digits of the key
for the purpose of this match - is there a way to express this? I could
probably create a wrapper dictionary using just the first four digits of
the key as they key, and containing the original key:value pair as a
list within it, but that seems cumbersome. Any one have a suggestion?
Thanks.
