[python] str.startswith with a list of strings to test for

I'm trying to avoid using so many if statements and comparisons and simply use a list, but not sure how to use it with str.startswith:

if link.lower().startswith("js/") or link.lower().startswith("catalog/") or link.lower().startswith("script/") or link.lower().startswith("scripts/") or link.lower().startswith("katalog/"):
    # then "do something"

What I would like it to be is:

if link.lower().startswith() in ["js","catalog","script","scripts","katalog"]:
    # then "do something"

Any help would be appreciated.

You can also use any(), map() like so:

if any(map(l.startswith, x)):
    pass # Do something

Or alternatively, using a generator expression:

if any(l.startswith(s) for s in x)
    pass # Do something
