Well, let's make this look more like real code:
#line 1
LIB_DIR = "/lib"
==>
LIB_DIR = Path("/lib")
#line 296
libs = glob.glob(os.path.join(LIB_DIR, "*.so"))
==>
libs = LIB_DIR.files("*.so")
Clearer? In d.files(pattern), d is simply the root directory for the
search. The same is true of all the searching methods: dirs(),
walkfiles(), walkdirs(), etc.
I actually never use path.glob(). For example, here files() is
actually more accurate, and the word "files" is surely clearer than
"glob". Given files(), dirs(), and listdir(), I have never found a
real use case for glob().
