New submission from Jim Nasby: A '*' in fnmatch.translate is converted into '.*', which will greedily match directory separators. This doesn't match shell behavior, which is that * will only match file names:
decibel@decina:[14:07]~$ls ~/tmp/*/1|head ls: /Users/decibel/tmp/*/1: No such file or directory decibel@decina:[14:07]~$ls ~/tmp/d*/base/1|head 112 >From a posix standpoint, this would easily be fixed by using '[^/]*' instead >of '.*'. I'm not sure how to make this work cross-platform though. It's worth noting that some programs (rsync, git) support **, which would correctly translate to '.*'. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 280985 nosy: Jim Nasby priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: '*' matches entire path in fnmatch.translate _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28718> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
