How to select columns from dataframe by regex

I have a dataframe in python pandas. The structure of the dataframe is as the following: a b c d1 d2 d3 10 14 12 44 45 78 I would like to select the columns which begin with d. Is there a simple way to achieve this in python .
You can use DataFrame.filter this way: import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame(np.array([[2,4,4],[4,3,3],[5,9,1]]),columns=['d','t','didi']) >> d t didi 0 2 4 4 1 4 3 3 2 5 9 1 df.filter(regex=("d.*")) >> d didi 0 2 4 1 4 3 2 5 1 The idea is to select columns by regex
