Joshua,

This topic should be discussed (at least until there is a concrete proposal) on the Usenet newgroup comp.lang.python (a.k.a. python-list at python.org). It would be helpful if you presented a concrete example. As stated though there is no unique file that matches a given basename. You might also want to check out the glob module to see if it addresses your needs.
