http://wiki.python.org/moin/glob now mentions:
The glob module lists names in folders that match Unix shell patterns. If the elemental function emulating Unix bash `echo *` really is missing from the 2.5 Python batteries included, then here's a brief clear way of adding that function to Python. Mind you, to date I've never written an elemental function for Python that I haven't eventually found well-buried somewhere, e.g., os.urandom. P.S. glob.glob bash and glob.glob rm have no hits yet, said Google Groups. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
