According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_%28programming%29) - "The noun "glob" is used to refer to a particular pattern, e.g. "use the glob *.log to match all those log files"". IOW, globbing is usually understood as the act of expanding a pattern to the files it matches. Nothing in that implies recursive traversal of a directory tree. On the other hand, os.walk and/or walkdir suggest that in their name. >> Which "Python spirit" are you talking about? We have many high-level tools in the stdlib. There should be one -- and preferably only one -- obvious way to do it. Admittedly, we already have more than one, and a high-level tool is proposed with Nick's walkdir. Why add *yet another* high-level tool? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13968> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
