Message 382535 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Today when porting some random project from os.path to pathlib I encountered a homemade filename matching method that I wanted to port to pathlib.Path.match. Unfortunately

pathlib.Path('x').match('**/x') False

although if I have a file called x in the current directory, both

pathlib.Path('.').glob('**/x')

and zsh's

$ ls **/x

can find it. It would be really nice to have analogous .glob and .match methods.
