FWIW, that looks better to me. > That makes me wonder, like Alexander said on the bug tracker: > In the glob-style patterns callable, do we want to deal with absolute paths ? I think that it would be okay to document that shutil.ignorepatterns() only accepts patterns matching individual filenames (not complex paths). If someone needs to do something with absolute paths, then they can write their own 'ignore' function, right?

Yes, the patch has been changed and corrected by a few people (thanks), and so the doc,

http://bugs.python.org/issue2663

So i guess it can be reviewed by a commiter at this stage
