Python Glob Module

File pattern matching — glob, iglob. This category documents 2 Python glob module entries, and each page gives you the full syntax, the parameter list, the return value, and a runnable example. The entries include: glob.glob(), glob.iglob(). glob.glob() returns a list of file paths matching a pathname pattern. glob.iglob() like glob() but returns an iterator instead of a list (memory efficient). Glob Module belongs to the File & Data group alongside Pathlib Module, Shutil Module, Fileinput Module, Tempfile Module. You can also search across every category from the search page, browse the complete A–Z index, or try any example in the Python playground. Python Reference documents 978+ functions, methods, and modules across 114 categories of the standard library, and every entry in this Glob Module category follows the same format — syntax first, then what it does, the parameters it accepts, what it returns, and a working code example — so once you have read one page you can read them all.
