New submission from Mathieu Bridon <boche...@fedoraproject.org>:
The attached patch allows for shell curly braces with fnmatch.filter().
This makes the following possible:
>>> import fnmatch
>>> import os
>>>
>>> for file in os.listdir('.'):
... if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, '*.{txt,csv}'):
... print file
...
file.csv
file.txt
foo.txt
This is especially convenient with the glob module:
>>> import glob
>>> glob.glob('*.{txt,csv}')
['file.csv', 'file.txt', 'foo.txt']
Hopefully, this makes fnmatch match better the behavior that people expect from
a shell-style pattern matcher.
Please note: I attached a patch that applies on the Python trunk, but only
tested it on Python 2.5 on Windows. However, the fnmatch module doesn't seem to
have changed substantially in between.
