Brace expansion in python glob
Combining globbing with brace expansion.
pip install braceexpandSample:
from glob import globfrom braceexpand import braceexpanddef braced_glob(path): l = [] for x in braceexpand(path): l.extend(glob(x)) return lbraced_glob('/usr/bin/{x,z}*k')
['/usr/bin/xclock', '/usr/bin/zipcloak']
Since {} aren't supported by glob() in Python, what you probably want is something like
import osimport re...match_dir = re.compile('(faint|bright.*)/(science|calib)(/chip)?')for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk("/your/top/dir") if match_dir.search(dirpath): do_whatever_with_files(dirpath, files) # OR do_whatever_with_subdirs(dirpath, dirnames)
