Yes, that is a horrible spelling for:

But it has the advantage that it works. :-)
Indeed! Excellent point :-). I definitely should not post untested code from my tablet. This is still slightly less horrible, but I recognize it's starting to border on horrible: {n for p in patterns for n in fnmatch.filter(names, p)} This seems worse: set(chain(*(fnmatch.filter(names, p) for p in patterns))) -- Keeping medicines from the bloodstreams of the sick; food from the bellies of the hungry; books from the hands of the uneducated; technology from the underdeveloped; and putting advocates of freedom in prisons.
