attribute error using fnmatch

[s99999999s2003]

hi
i have script like this:

from fnmatch import fnmatch
from glob import glob
.....
....
f = ['file1','file2','file3']
r = "d:\\somepath"
pat = "*.bat"
listof_files = [i for i in f if not fnmatch(os.path.join(r,i),pat) and
os.path.isfile(os.path.join(r,i))]
....
...

I get this error:
File "C:\Python24\Lib\fnmatch.py", line 37, in fnmatch
pat = os.path.normcase(pat)
File "C:\Python24\lib\ntpath.py", line 42, in normcase
return s.replace("/", "\\").lower()
AttributeError: replace

But when i do everything in interactive, there is no problem.. What
could be wrong with the script?
My purpose is to find a list of files that does not match pat...
thanks

nothing, from what I can tell.

did you verify that the code you posted really have the problem (it does
use the 'os' module which isn't important, and doesn't use 'glob' which
is imported, so chances are that you messed something up on the way to
comp.lang.python).

what do you get if you add

print repr(pat), type(pat)

just before the list comprehension ?

message.replace("important", "imported")
