glob accepts '/' on most platforms, but returns platform-specific 
separators.  For this application, though, it's simpler to just use 
['prefix/'+f for f in os.listdir('prefix')].

Or, if you like obfuscational, er, I mean, functional programming, 
you can user:

     map('prefix/'.__add__, os.listdir('prefix'))
