In reading Python 3.5.1's glob.glob documentation[1] I'm puzzled by the
following:
1. The signature for glob.glob() is "glob.glob(pathname, *,
recursive=False)". What is the meaning of the 2nd parameter listed
with an asterisk?
2. Is there a technique for using glob.glob() to recognize files and
folders that begin with a period, eg. ".profile"? The documentation
states: "If the directory contains files starting with . they won’t
be matched by default.". Any suggestions on what the non-default
approach is to match these type of files?
Thank you,
Malcolm
