How do I use the glob module in Python?

The glob module in Python is used to find all the pathnames matching a specified pattern. You can use it to list files in a directory.

Can you show me a simple example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import glob

# List all Python files in the current directory
python_files = glob.glob('*.py')
print(python_files)

What if I want to search in subdirectories?

You can use the ** pattern to search in subdirectories. For example:

python_files = glob.glob('**/*.py', recursive=True)

Are there any other useful functions in the glob module?

Yes, the glob module also provides iglob() which returns an iterator instead of a list, allowing for more memory-efficient file handling.
