What you want to do is use the fnmatch python module.
for i in nuke.allNodes("Write"):
if fnmatch.fnmatch(i['name'].value(), "tiffWrite*"):
# Do stuff
fnmatch has two useful function:
fnmatch(string, pattern)
This will return True or False depending on whether string matches
pattern
filter(listOfStrings, pattern)
This will return a list of all of the strings in listOfStrings that
match the pattern.
You can generally use any pattern style that you can use in glob (or on
the commandline)
So '*' to match 0 or more characters. ? to match just one character,
[0-9] to match any digit, [a-z] to match any lowercase letter, [a-zA-Z]
to match any letter, etc...
