Hello,
Welcome to Python!
glob returns a list of filenames, but getline is made to work on just
one filename.
So you'll need to iterate over the list returned by glob.
>>> import linecache, glob
>>> for filename in glob.glob('/etc/*'):
>>> print linecache.getline(filename, 4)
Maybe you could explain more about what you are trying to do and we
could help more?
Hope this helps,
Jeremy
