This beats me:

ipatterns
('*.txt', '*.hdf', '*.pdf', '*.png')
igf = shutil.ignore_patterns(ipatterns)
ignorethis = igf(ddftopdir,os.listdir(ddftopdir))

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<pyshell#60>", line 1, in <module>
   ignorethis = igf(ddftopdir,os.listdir(ddftopdir))
 File "C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py", line 138, in _ignore_patterns
   ignored_names.extend(fnmatch.filter(names, pattern))

   pat=os.path.normcase(pat)
 File "C:\Python27\lib\ntpath.py", line 46, in normcase
   return s.replace("/", "\\").lower()
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'replace'

igg = shutil.ignore_patterns('*.txt', '*.hdf', '*.pdf', '*.png')
ignorethat = igg(ddftopdir, os.listdir(ddftopdir))
ignorethat
set(['Chi2.png', 'DTSdata.hdf', 'TST.hdf', 'BullNoseDiffs.png', 'DTSall.hdf', 'Symmetry.pdf'])

Why does it fail on passing in a tuple of ignore strings? I thought the , (comma) is pretty much the tuple constructor (if that is the right word).

How can I solve this? Is there a way to convert a tuple of strings in a form that will be accepted?

Thank you in advance,
