New submission from Varun Agrawal: Currently, the fnmatch module in Python does not operate like the Unix equivalent command. This is especially the case with patterns such as `dir/` which does not match directory path returned by `os` (which would be `dir`) and neither does the pattern match the underlying files and sub-directories. Adding these functionalities so that fnmatch matches it's Unix equivalent would make it much more powerful to use.
Glob is not useful since glob is a special case that matches only with the current directory paths rather than the a general purpose filename pattern matcher. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 299763 nosy: Varun Agrawal priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: fnmatch does not follow Unix fnmatch functionality type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31123> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
