Remove dict items if key matches with pattern from list

Question

I have a list of patterns:

['transcript/123', 'transcript/127', 'transcript/344', 'transcript/346', 'transcript/245', 'transcript/129', ]

I need to loop over all the patterns and look if those patterns match with key names of a dict:

defaultdict(<type 'list'>, {'transcript/129 full_length_coverage=3;length=1108': ['ATTATATATAAAGATTAAAAGTATTACATTTTT'], 'transcript/344 full_length_coverage=2;length=1652': ['CAAGGGAAAGAAAGATAAAAAGTCC'], 'transcript/764 full_length_coverage=19;length=1388': ['CGACGCTTT'], 'transcript/67 full_length_coverage=5;length=1411': ['GAAGATATTTATTATAGGCTTATTAAAGAATATTTT']})

I need to remove items of the dict if the patterns of the list match with the keys of the defaultdict.

I'd like something like that:

for i in my_list:
    for key in my_dict:
         l=key.split(' ')
             if i in key[0]:
                 my_dict.pop(key)

Thanks

I think you can just go

for i in my_list:
    for key in my_dict:
         if i in key:
             del my_dict[key]
