Hi Ralf, > This would seem to still mis-characterizes patterns such as 'foo]'.
Yes, of course. But this function is by no means thought to correctly catch all possible variations of wildcard patterns (one would have to duplicate fnmatch for that). Its purpose is to give a rough estimate on whether a given pattern is a fixed literal or a wildcard string. It may, in same cases, incorrectly recognize the former to be the latter, but never vice-versa. Regards, Sergey
