Daniel,
I don't think that what you are doing will work under windows. Linux shells
will automagically expand arguments like *.txt, so the python module will
receive a list of files. This doesn't happen under windows, so you'll have
to expand the argument yourself, probably using the glob module.
See <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lpython/chapter/ch09.html> for an
example of this.
Cheers,
