This is what I've tried, but it doesn't work:

keep_only_tags = [
    dict(name='div', attrs={'class':['article']})
]

It only works if I put the both class names like so:

keep_only_tags = [
    dict(name='div', attrs={'class':['article right']})
]

I've tried wildcards ('article.*'), but that doesn't seem to work either.

Any one have ideas?

The class is "article right," so it's working as it should. If you want to use a regex on the class:

    keep_only_tags = [
                dict(name='div', attrs={'class':re.compile(r'article', re.DOTALL|re.IGNORECASE)}) 
                ]

and don't forget to use:
import re
