The docs don't say anything about it. However the code is there (docs bug probably).
See the following lines in glob.py:
57 if pattern[0] != '.':
58 names = [x for x in names if x[0] != '.']
59 return fnmatch.filter(names, pattern)
The documentation is even harder to follow.
The glob docs say:
"The pattern may contain simple shell-style wildcards a la fnmatch."
but the fnmatch docs say:
"Similarly, filenames starting with a period are not special for this module, and are matched by the * and ? patterns."
The posix standard states that "if a filename begins with a period ( '.' ), the period shall be explicitly matched"
