When you do :
glob.glob("c:\abc\afolderwith[test]\*") returns empty list
It looks for all files in three directories:
c:\abc\afolderwitht\*
c:\abc\afolderwithe\*
c:\abc\afolderwiths\*
Ofcourse they do not exist so it returns empty list
06:35:05 l0nwlf-MBP:Desktop $ ls -R test
1 2 3
06:35:15 l0nwlf-MBP:Desktop $ ls -R test1
alpha beta gamma
>>> glob.glob('/Users/l0nwlf/Desktop/test[123]/*')
['/Users/l0nwlf/Desktop/test1/alpha', '/Users/l0nwlf/Desktop/test1/beta',
'/Users/l0nwlf/Desktop/test1/gamma']
As you can see, by giving the argument test[123] it looked for test1, test2,
test3. Since test1 existed, it gave all the files present within it.
