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

not the best solution, can be improved (overide getitem)

class mydict(dict):
    def __getitem__(self, value):
        keys = [k for k in self.keys() if value in k]
        key = keys[0] if keys else None
        return self.get(key)


my_dict = mydict({'name': 'Klauss', 'age': 26, 'Date of birth': '15th july'})
print(my_dict['Date'])# returns 15th july
