On Python I have a list like: 

["Years : 1970 - aaaaa", "Month : May - aaaaaaaaa", "Day : 20 - aaaaaaa", "Years : 1971 - aaaaa"]

I just need to extract all items starting by "Years" in another list to have a list like: 

["Years : 1970 - aaaaaaa", Years :  1971 - aaaaaaaa"]

How can I achieve this?

You can do that with list comprehension:

[i for i in lst if i.startswith('Years')]

Basically, it says For all i elements, return i if it starts with 'Years'
