Not quite. I'm sorry my example wasn't very clear. While working with any
single file I need to be able to build a list of all the other files in a
particular set. Basically I just need globbing of the base filename.
glob.glob(basename+'.*some_extension')
So if I was working with 'foo.par2' at the moment...
glob.glob(filename[:-5]+'.*par2')
would catch all of the files belonging to the set including 'foo.par2'
'foo.vol0+1.par2' 'foo.vol1+1.par2' etc.
This works great (as expected) until you are working with a filename with
brackets '[]' in it. Then glob just returns an empty list. So if I happen
to be processing 'foo [bar].par2'
glob.glob(filename[:-5]+'.*par2')
doesn't return anything. Using win32api.FindFiles(filename[:-5]+'.*par2')
works perfectly, but I don't want to rely on win32api functions. I hope
that made more sense :).
