Project: Python
Category: Modules

Summary: glob does not handle set coplementation ([^ ... ]) properly

Details: The glob function in the glob module does not handle the set complementation correctly.

Example:

  glob('*[^C].cc')

should return all .cc file that do NOT have a 'C' before the dot. Instead it returns all files that DO
have a C before the dot.

Python:   v 1.5.2
Platform: HP-UX

Comment:
This is not a bug.  Bash accepts either "!" or "^" as the set-complement character, but ash only accepts "!".   sh on FreeBSD also only accepts "!".  I think we can safely say that the acceptance of "^" in bash is non-standard behavior, so I'm declaring that this isn't a bug.
