Not a bug. "[abc]" matches exactly one character which may be "a", "b" or "c". 
Therefore "[ ]" matches one space character. If you want a literal "[", put it in brackets, 
e. g. glob.glob("C:\\[[] ]\\*").

By the way, do you think this problem is common enough to warrant the addition of a 
fnmatch.escape() function? I have something like this in mind: 
 
>>> import re 
>>> r = re.compile("(%s)" % "|".join(re.escape(c) for c in "*?[")) 
>>> def escape(s): 
...     return r.sub(r"[\1]", s) 
... 
>>> escape("c:\\[a-z]\\*") 
'c:\\[[]a-z]\\[*]'
