Yeah, the problem is, your file is called glob.py, and that is loaded
when you import glob.  Instead, you should be loading the glob from the
standard python library.  To get around this, one thing you could do is
rename your glob.py file to my_glob.py, and remove your old glob.py and
glob.pyc.  Then 'python my_glob.py *.py' should work fine.  At least,
that solved the problem for me.
