What are some examples of using wildcards in Python?

In Python, wildcards are often used in file handling and pattern matching. For example, you can use the glob module to find files that match a specific pattern.

Can you show me a code example using the glob module?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import glob

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

What about using wildcards in string matching?

For string matching, you can use the fnmatch module. Here's an example:

import fnmatch

# Check if a filename matches a pattern
if fnmatch.fnmatch('example.txt', '*.txt'):
    print('This is a text file.')
