The attached patch adds support for '\\' escaping to fnmatch, and consequently
to glob.

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

The note about no quoting meta-chars is in the docstring for fnmatch.translate,
not the documentation. I still see it in 3.1. I have a to-do item to add this
to the actual documentation. I'll add an issue.

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:
The 3.1.2 doc for fnmatch.translate no longer says There is no way to quote
meta-characters. If that is still true (no quoting method is given that I can
see), then that removal is something of a regression.

Shouldn't the title be updated to indicate the fnmatch is the true source of
the behavior (I'm basing this on http://docs.python.org/library/glob.html
indicating the fnmatch is invoked by glob). I'm not using glob, but fnmatch in

New submission from george hu geo...@gmail.com:
Have this problem in python 2.5.4 under windows.
I'm trying to return a list of files in a directory by using glob. It keeps
returning a empty list until I tested/adjusted folder name by removing [
character from it. Not sure if this is a bug.
Shashwat Anand anand.shash...@gmail.com added the comment:
When you do :
glob.glob(c:\abc\afolderwith[test]\*) returns empty list
It looks for all files in three directories:
c:\abc\afolderwitht\*
c:\abc\afolderwithe\*
c:\abc\afolderwiths\*
Ofcourse they do not exist so it returns empty list
Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment:
See the explanation at
http://docs.python.org/library/fnmatch.html#module-fnmatch , which uses the
same rules.

The documentation for fnmatch.translate, which is what ultimately gets called,
says:
There is no way to quote meta-characters.
Sorry.
If you want to see this changed, you could open a feature request. If you have
a patch, that would help!
Shashwat Anand anand.shash...@gmail.com added the comment:
glob module does not provide what you want.
As a workaround you can try:
os.listdir(c:\abc\afolderwith[test])
07:02:52 l0nwlf-MBP:Desktop $ ls -R test\[123\]/
1 2 3
os.listdir('/Users/l0nwlf/Desktop/test[123]')
['1', '2', '3']
