Link pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pywildcard

Examples

import pywildcard
dirs = ['hello/world.py', 'hello/world.pyc', 'hello/world/other/folder/example.py']
pywildcard.filter(dirs, 'hello/*')
# ['hello/world.py', 'hello/world.pyc']

pywildcard.filter(dirs, 'hello/*.py')
# ['hello/world.py']

pywildcard.filter(dirs, 'hello/**')
# ['hello/world.py', 'hello/world.pyc', 'hello/world/other/folder/example.py']

pywildcard.filter(dirs, 'hello/**.py')
# ['hello/world.py', 'hello/world/other/folder/example.py']

Diffs fnmatch & pywildcard

fnmatch

.. code:: python

    import re
    import fnmatch

    urls = ['example/l1/l2/test3-1.py',
            'example/l1/test2-1.py',
            'example/l1/test2-2.py',
            'example/l1/l2/l3/test4-1.py']

    regex = fnmatch.translate('example/*')
    # 'example\\/.*\\Z(?ms)'
    re.findall(regex, "\n".join(urls))
    # return ['example/l1/l2/test3-1.py\nexample/l1/test2-1.py\nexample/l1/test2-2.py\nexample/l1/l2/l3/test4-1.py']

pywildcard

.. code:: python

import re
import pywildcard

urls = ['example/l1/l2/test3-1.py',
        'example/l1/test2-1.py',
        'example/l1/test2-2.py',
        'example/l1/l2/l3/test4-1.py']

regex = pywildcard.translate('example/**')
# 'example/.*?$(?ms)'
re.findall(regex, "\n".join(urls))
# return ['example/l1/l2/test3-1.py',
#         'example/l1/test2-1.py',
#         'example/l1/test2-2.py',
#         'example/l1/l2/l3/test4-1.py']

Running the unit tests

```bash # Check out the git repository. git clone [e-mail]:agalera/python-wildcard.git # Enter the directory. cd python-wildcard # Install pytest if you have not done already. pip install pytest # Run the tests pytest
