How to find all elements with class name containing a specific string using HTML-requests library?

Question

I am on this page on Tokyo Olympic Website

I would like to get all the elements that has class name beginning with a specific string. For instance I want to get all elements that begin with 'col-sm-'.

html.r.find('.col-sm-6') gives me all elements that have class name col-sm-6. However I would like to get all elements starting with class name col-sm-. In documentation they have asked to refer CSS selector at this link. As per the information on that page either:

r.html.find('[class~=col-sm-]') or r.html.find('[class=col-sm-]') should do the job but they return an empty list.

Answer 1

Maybe that would work

*[class^='col-sm-']
