Brace expansion in python glob

{..} is known as brace expansion, and is a separate step applied before globbing takes place.

It's not part of globs, and not supported by the python glob function.

Combining globbing with brace expansion.

pip install braceexpand

Sample:

from glob import glob
from braceexpand import braceexpand

def braced_glob(path):
    l = []
    for x in braceexpand(path):
        l.extend(glob(x))
            
    return l

>>> braced_glob('/usr/bin/{x,z}*k')  
['/usr/bin/xclock', '/usr/bin/zipcloak']
