Тип строки в Python имеет очень много удобных методов. Сегодня пост про два таких метода которые чаще всего используются "однобоко". Это методы startswith() и endswith()
Самый обычный сценарий использования — проверка, начинается ли строка с указанной подстроки?
>>> "some_string".startswith("some")
True
И аналогичная ситуация с зеркальным вариантом этой функции, проверка совпадения с конца
>>> "some_string".endswith("some")
False
Так они используются в большинстве случаев что я видел. Но у этих функций есть еще два варианта использования.
🔸Сравнение нескольких подстрок
Для проверки нескольких подстрок в одной строке обычно вызывают эти функции несколько раз. Но на самом деле достаточно передать кортеж со всеми строками один раз. Если будет хоть одно совпадение то функция вернёт True.
>>>"my_image.png".endswith(("jpg", "png", "exr"))
True
🔸Диапазон поиска
Вторым аргументом можно передать индекс символа с которого следует начать сравнение, а третий аргумент это индекс последнего символа.
>>> ".filename.ext".startswith("file", 1)
True
>>> "file_###.ext".endswith('#', 0, -4)
True
Индексы можно указать отрицательными, что означает отсчёт с конца.

At the Ocean-Monsoon Conference 2026, @agturnermonsoon.bsky.social of the University of Reading presented a striking visual: the same location in India, captured under drought and active monsoon conditions. Two extremes. One region. A powerful reminder of what is at stake. 🧵👇#AAS#Climatescience

NASA faces a stalled Mars sample-return mission as funding reshapes priorities in #TechPolicy, while a promising mRNA-based personalized cancer vaccine struggles amid shrinking research budgets in the U.S., underscoring a rising #HealthCrisis. Scientists also warn that deepfakes demand new “face-ownership” rights, adding momentum to global #AIRegulation. Fresh insights into black-hole limits and rare-earth formation expand our cosmic and geologic imagination, even as #ClimateScience pushes oil and gas giants to pivot toward plastics. New antidepressant treatments and studies on small daily joys highlight a parallel #MentalHealth shift across society.

This issue captures a world in transition, from ancient engineering puzzles to the fragile future of memory. Stunning visuals highlight global migration, ecological risk and cultural resilience, while scientists push deeper into #ClimateScience and #Neuroscience. A precise Mesopotamian map surprises historians, and a tribute to Jane Goodall reflects on her transformative legacy in #WildlifeResearch. The “Pictures of the Year” series showcases unforgettable scenes shaped by conflict, migration and #GlobalCulture. As melting ice reveals prehistoric secrets, explorers race against time, reminding us how fragile our world is in the age of #EarthChange and #FutureTech.

This week’s Science dives deep into the frontiers of #Nanoscopy, visualizing neural circuits with stunning 3D precision. From Arctic #Permafrost preserving ancient RNA viruses to #Ant colonies evolving architectural immunity, the issue spans from the microscopic to the planetary. Groundbreaking work tracks #SeaLevel change over 4.5 million years and explores durable #Hydrogen production membranes and electric control in #2Dmaterials. The “#ColdStorage” feature warns of hidden viral archives in melting ice—a chilling insight into #ClimateScience and future pandemics. A visionary issue linking biology, chemistry, and global sustainability through the lens of innovation.
