Python: Selenium WebDriver find_elements_by_class_name

Question

I want to select all the rows in a table that have class name either TCP_RowOdd or TCP_RowEven. Currently, I am doing it like this

oddRows = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("TCP_RowOdd")

evenRows = driver.find_elements_by_class_name("TCP_RowEven")

Is there an OR clause that can be used here to do it in a single query.

There are multiple ways to that, I prefer the CSS selector:

rows = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector(".TCP_RowOdd,.TCP_RowEven")

The comma in the selector means "or".

Or, we can grab all elements having a class that starts with TCP_Row:

rows = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("[class^=TCP_Row]")
