New submission from Kalev Maricq <kalevtheol...@hotmail.com>:
First, sorry if this isn't in the correct place or correctly labeled. I'm new to this platform. Feel free to edit this (if that's even possible on this platform). In the glob.py module, _ishidden(pattern) is used to determine whether to show hidden files and folders by checking if pattern[0]=='.'. It also uses _isrecursive(pattern) to determine whether to perform a recursive search by checking whether the pattern=='**'. As a result, one cannot perform a recursive search which shows hidden folders and files, since '**'[0]!='.'. Suggestion: Alter _isrecursive to return '**' in pattern to allow for this. ---------- messages: 347767 nosy: k64 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Change Glob: Allow Recursion for Hidden Files type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37578> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
