flacs <0f1...@gmail.com> added the comment: As a workaround, it is possible to make every glob character a character set of one character (wrapping it with [] ). The gotcha here is that you can't just use multiple replaces because you would escape the escape brackets.
Here is a function adapted from [1]: def escape_glob(path): transdict = { '[': '[[]', ']': '[]]', '*': '[*]', '?': '[?]', } rc = re.compile('|'.join(map(re.escape, transdict))) return rc.sub(lambda m: transdict[m.group(0)], path) [1] http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/python/code/216636 ---------- components: +Library (Lib) nosy: +flacs _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8402> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
