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.

Playwright CLI is a simple command-line tool for browser automation that works best with coding agents like Claude or GitHub Copilot. Install it globally with `npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest`, then use commands like `open`, `type`, `click`, `screenshot` to control browsers efficiently without loading heavy page data. It saves tokens for faster AI tasks on large codebases. You benefit by automating web tests, taking screenshots, and managing sessions quickly, making your coding and testing workflows smoother and more reliable.

Fingerprint-suite is a toolkit that generates and injects realistic browser fingerprints into automated browsers like Playwright and Puppeteer. It includes four modular packages: header-generator for HTTP headers, fingerprint-generator for browser fingerprints, fingerprint-injector for injection, and a Bayesian network for realistic fingerprint creation. Since websites increasingly use fingerprinting to track and identify users, this tool helps your web scrapers avoid detection by mimicking real browser behavior. You can customize fingerprints by device type and operating system, making your automated browsing appear completely legitimate to anti-bot systems.

Scrapling is a fast Python web scraping tool that fetches pages, bypasses anti-bot blocks like Cloudflare, and adapts to site changes by auto-finding elements. Use simple CSS/XPath selectors, spiders for big crawls with pause/resume, proxy rotation, and CLI—no code needed sometimes. Install via pip; it's memory-light and beats others in speed. You save time fixing broken scrapers, scrape reliably at scale, cut costs with AI tools, and focus on using data for leads, prices, or research.
