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. Intellectual property is
to the 21st century what the slave trade was to the 16th.
