Looking For A Wildcard File Name Parser

[YoTuco]

I've been looking for a good wildcard file name parser. That is, some module
in Python or something someone has made that can take a file name with the
'*' or '?' wildcards in it, parse a list[] and give back the matches.  It
seems like a common enough task that one would be around?  Or do I just
have to roll up my sleeves, dig-in and learn RE?
 
Thanx in advance for your input.
