I want to list the file with glob .
The path( which is a directory ) is contain square bracket as "[ab]xxx" 
.  However , i can't find how to do it rightly with glob .

with the coding :

{{{
import glob
glob.glob('[ab]xxx' )
}}}

and with the path "[ab]xxx" really exits. 
result : []

Is there a way to do it rightly ?
Or it is a bug ?

The bug tracker is not here to get help.
Please ask this kind of question on the comp.lang.python newsgroup.
(they will tell you that [ is a special character for glob(), and how to
escape it)
