Dan Gawarecki <dan_gaware...@datacard.com> added the comment: Shouldn't the title be updated to indicate the fnmatch is the true source of the behavior (I'm basing this on http://docs.python.org/library/glob.html indicating the fnmatch is invoked by glob). I'm not using glob, but fnmatch in my attempt to find filenames that look like "Ajax_[version2].txt".
If nothing else, it would have helped me if the documentation would state whether or not the brackets could be escaped. It doesn't appear from my tests (trying "Ajax_\[version2\].txt" and "Ajax_\\[version2\\].txt") that 'escaping' is possible, but if the filter pattern gets turned into a regular expression, I think escaping *would* be possible. Is that a reasonable assumption? I'm running 2.5.1 under Windows, and this is my first ever post to the bugs list. ---------- nosy: +Aquinas _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8402> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
