In that case this is the simplest approach:

>> if line.startswith(st): do something
That means that if you are reading the lines from a file you'd need a
neted loop:
for line in someFile:
for substring in s:
if line.startswith(substring):
# do something here
Alternatively a regular exression match as suggested by others is
probably
faster.
