I don't think there is a clean way. You can monkey-patch if you don't need
the default behaviour elsewhere in your application:
$ touch foo .bar baz
$ python3
Python 3.4.3 (default, Oct 14 2015, 20:28:29)
[GCC 4.8.4] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import glob
>>> glob.glob("*")
['foo', 'baz']
>>> glob._ishidden = lambda path: False
>>> glob.glob("*")
['.bar', 'foo', 'baz']
