How to get certain things from POST

How do I retrieve things from post that match a wild card? Or maybe there is a better way?

I want this to magically work, so e and i are dictionaries with keys and values from post.

e = request.POST.get(u'e_*')
i = request.POST.get(u'i_*')

request.POST could look like...

<QueryDict: {u'e_3': [u'9'], u'e_2': [u'5'], u'e_1': [u'3'], u'e_4': [u'2'], u'csrfmiddlewaretoken': [u'Ig2UF7As7Qa2iaEqIBSlX2ziWW7Grxtw'], u'i_3': [u'8'], u'i_2': [u'11'], u'i_1': [u'10']}>

Thanks!

You could use dictionary comprehensions like:

e = {k:v for k,v in request.POST.items() if k[:2] == 'e_'}
i = {k:v for k,v in request.POST.items() if k[:2] == 'i_'}
