[New-bugs-announce] [issue8402] glob returns empty list with "[" character in the folder name

[george hu]

New submission from george hu <geohuz at gmail.com>:

Have this problem in python 2.5.4 under windows. 
I'm trying to return a list of files in a directory by using glob. It keeps returning a empty list until I tested/adjusted folder name by removing "[" character from it. Not sure if this is a bug.

glob.glob("c:\abc\afolderwith[test]\*") returns empty list
glob.glob("c:\abc\afolderwithtest]\*") returns files
