The :mod:`glob` module finds all the pathnames matching a specified pattern
according to the rules used by the Unix shell. No tilde expansion is done,
but
-``*``, ``?``, and character ranges expressed with ``[]`` will be correctly

Needs a versionchanged.
In any case, brace expansion is not part of globbing (see the bash or zsh
manuals) because it does not generate valid file names, and it is a non-POSIX
expansion of some shells. Are you sure it should be put into the glob module?
(Not speaking of the backward incompatibility it creates.)
I backed it out very soon afterwards, Georg. It had had some (quite a
bit of) discussion on the issue, but I'd messed up the patch somehow and
the backwards compat issue was raised pretty much immediately by Serhiy.
So I pulled the commit.
