I think Mr. Lundh's point was only that the output from glob.glob is already
guaranteed to be strings, so using either '%s'%f or str(f) is superfluous.
Just for the record - this was why I asked what the point was in the
first place.

So, for example, in Perl I could do something like:
@files = `ls`;
So I guess I'm looking for something similiar to the backticks in Perl.
Forgive me if I've asked something that's a bit basic for this list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

If all you want is filenames this will work:
import glob
files = [%s % f for f in glob.glob(*)]
What's the point of doing %s % f? How is this different from just
file = [f for f in glob.glob(*)]?

Thanks, that's good to know. I still need to use os.popen() for a few
things, but I'll be needing filenames also, so when I try to get
filenames I'll use the above.

the % implementation still has to create an overallocated output buffer,

This is a scripting language feature. Python doesn't have direct
support for it, any more than C++ does. To get that functionality, you
want to use either the os.popen function, or - preferable, but only
available in newer Pythons - the subprocess module.
Thanks.
