globmatch - Matching paths against globs
globmatch provides functions for matching a path against one ore more glob patterns in Python.
This differs from the glob module of the standard library, which matches a glob against the
file-tree on your system. globmatch does not interact with the filesystem at all, but relies on
generic matching. It also differs from the fnmatch module of the standard library in that it
accepts the double star (**) element, which matches zero or more directories. Additionally, the
star element (*) in fnmatch will also match across path separators. In globmatch the
star element matches zero or more characters of the current path element (directory/file name).
Installation
Install globmatch with pip:
pip install globmatch
or for a development install:
pip install -e git+https://github.com/vidartf/globmatch#egg=globmatch
Usage
from globmatch import glob_match
# Some paths that match (returns True):
glob_match('.git/gitconfig/', ['.git'])
glob_match('foo/config', ['**/config'])
glob_match('foo/config/bar', ['**/config'])
glob_match('.git/gitconfig/', ['.git', '**/config'])
glob_match('foo/config/bar', ['.git', '**/config'])
glob_match('/.git/gitconfig/', ['**/.git'])
# Some paths that do not match (returns False):
glob_match('/.git/gitconfig/', ['.git']) # Needs ** to match subdir of root dir
glob_match('foo/node_modules', ['node_modules']) # Will not match subdir without preceding **
Testing
Install the develop install with test requirements:
pip install -e globmatch[test]
