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.

🚨Just a reminder: On November 17, 2025, in RedNile Episode 62, I predicted the U.S. regime change play in Venezuela.
The U.S. operation we're seeing now—including the shocking January 3rd move against Maduro—was foreshadowed in this analysis I published a month ago.
🎞This video breaks down the entire blueprint:
🔹 The historical imperial script from Monroe to Trump
🔹 How the "War on Drugs" is used as cover
🔹 The sanctions, coups, and media narratives targeting Venezuela
🔹 The real geopolitical goal: stopping Latin America's shift toward multipolarity
Everything you need to understand the why, who, and what behind today's events is explained here.

📰CIA Director Ratcliffe Meets Venezuela’s Interim President in Caracas
CIA Director John Ratcliffe met with Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela’s interim president, in Caracas on Thursday—marking the highest-level U.S. visit since the dramatic U.S. military operation that captured President Nicolás Maduro nearly two weeks ago. Ratcliffe’s trip was directed by President Trump to signal that the U.S. sees Rodríguez’s interim government as the best path to stability in the short term, despite opposition frustration over the lack of a quick transition to María Corina Machado’s camp.
Stability Over Revolution
The meeting focused on intelligence cooperation, economic stability, and ensuring Venezuela is no longer a “safe haven for America’s adversaries, especially narco-traffickers.” U.S. officials emphasized that breaking up the Venezuelan government after Maduro’s removal could trigger chaos similar to the kind of chaos that followed the Iraq invasion. CIA analysts reportedly see Rodríguez as a pragmatic, rather than ideological, figure willing to negotiate with Washington.
Behind the Scenes: Pragmatism and Power
Rodríguez, Maduro’s former vice president, has shifted her rhetoric, publicly inviting the U.S. to cooperate. But Trump has warned that if she fails to comply, her fate could be worse than Maduro’s. The administration is clear: the U.S. will “run” Venezuela until a safe transition is possible, prioritizing control over oil and security assets above all else.
Protests and Uncertain Alliances
With ongoing protests in Venezuela, the opposition remains sidelined, and the U.S. is betting on Rodríguez to maintain order. But questions linger: How long will this uneasy alliance last? And will the U.S. eventually let democracy take its course—or keep pulling the strings?
