Python BeautifulSoup select all elements whose attribute starts with

I want to select all elements who has at least one attribute that starts with "responsive-"

<div reponsive-devices="desktop"></div> #Select this
<ul responsive-os="android"></ul> # Select this
<div class="responsive-"></div> # DON'T select this

I already tried this: Can I select all elements whose attribute names (not values) start with a certain string? but it couldn't help me.

Does anyone have any idea?

This is not straightforward but you can iterate over the tags and check if any of the attribute is starting with responsive.

See below code:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

data = '''<div responsive-devices="desktop"></div>
<ul responsive-os="android"></ul>
<div class="responsive-"></div>'''

soup = BeautifulSoup(''.join(data))

responsive_tag_list = soup.findAll(
                lambda tag:
                any([i.startswith('responsive-') for i in tag.attrs])
                )

print(responsive_tag_list)

Output: 

[<div responsive-devices="desktop"></div>, <ul responsive-os="android"></ul>]
