Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Feedback from Antoine on IRC about my syntax proposal: “The "**" meaning is not really universal like other quantifiers are. [...] (also, it would be quite harder to implement, I think)”
That and the compat issue makes me go in favor of a new function. I’m not sure glob is the right place: when you use glob.glob, the search is rooted in the current directory, and you may have sub-directories in your pattern, e.g. 'Lib/*/__main__.py'. A function meaning “look for this file pattern recursively” would be IMO more at home in fnmatch. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13968> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
