What glob does

globglob finds files using wildcard patterns:

• *.txt*.txt
• data_??.csvdata_??.csv
• recursive patterns with ****

Using globglob module

from glob import glob
 
for path in glob("*.py"):
    print(path)

from glob import glob
 
for path in glob("*.py"):
    print(path)

Recursive glob

from glob import glob
 
for path in glob("**/*.md", recursive=True):
    print(path)

from glob import glob
 
for path in glob("**/*.md", recursive=True):
    print(path)

Prefer pathlib

pathlib.Path.rglobpathlib.Path.rglob is often cleaner.
