globbing multiple wildcards

[utabintarbo]

I have a path spec similar to '/home/*/.mozilla/*/*/cache*/*' (this
will probably look familiar to *nix users) with multiple wildcards. I
am finding it difficult gathering ALL file pathnames which match this
spec. Can anyone shed some light on this for a python noob?

TIA
Bob

what about :
martin@ubuntu:~$ python
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 30 2005, 21:51:10)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import glob
print glob.glob('/home/*/.mozilla/*/*/Cache*/*') ['/home/martin/.mozilla/firefox/dem8d5eu.default/Cache/_CACHE_MAP_',
'/home/martin/.mozilla/firefox/dem8d5eu.default/Cache/_CACHE_001_',
..........
'/home/martin/.mozilla/firefox/dem8d5eu.default/Cache/66FA72F2d01',
'/home/martin/.mozilla/firefox/dem8d5eu.default/Cache/85F82253d01',
'/home/martin/.mozilla/firefox/dem8d5eu.default/Cache/CE3B4D9Cd01']

OK, I guess it WAS that easy. :-P

Thanks for the replys.

Is there any way to make this recursive? That is what I was looking
for.

Sorry I wasn't too clear before.

Then take a look at os.walk, see
