Okay, *nix wins then. :-) Python's stdlib is already fairly *nix-oriented (even when it's being cross-platform), so I guess it's not a big deal. My only remaining concern then is that there shouldn't be more than one way to do recursive globbing in a new API like this. Why does rglob() exist when the documentation simply says "like calling glob() but with '**' added in front of the pattern"? http://docs.python.org/dev/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path.rglob -Ben _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
