This is a backward incompatible change. For example glob.glob(r'C:\Program Files\*') will be broken. As flacs says a way to escape metacharacters in glob/fnmatch already exists. If someone want to match literal name "Ajax_[version2].txt" it should use pattern "Ajax_[[]version2].txt". Documentation should explicitly mentions such way. It will be good also to add new fnmatch.escape() function. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8402> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
