Accessing Python dict values with the key start characters

You can’t do such directly with dict. You have to iterate through the dict and match each key against the keyword and return the corresponding value if the keyword is found.
This is going to be an O(N) operation.

>>> 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'

To get all such values use a list comprehension:

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

use str.startswith if you want only those values whose keys starts with ‘Date’:

>>> 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']
