globre

✓ import globre

✗ from globre import globre

globre is a top-level module, not a submodule.

Basic usage: import globre and use match() like re.match().

import globre # Match a glob pattern if globre.match('*.py', 'test.py'): print('matches')

Debug

Known issues

gotchaCommon mistake: treat globre.match() like Python's fnmatch. globre.match() behaves like re.match (anchored at start) but with glob syntax. To match anywhere use globre.search().

fix

Use globre.search() for partial matches, globre.match() for anchored start.

affects: all

gotchaPattern syntax: globre uses standard glob patterns (like **, *, ?, [...]) not regex. Escaping special regex characters is not needed, but glob special characters must be escaped. This confusion often leads to errors.

fix

Remember: it's glob syntax, not regex. Use bracket patterns like [abc] for character sets, * for any string, ? for single char.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'globre' has no attribute 'compile'

globre does not implement a compile() function; it provides match, search, etc. directly.

fix

Use globre.match(pattern, string) directly; no compile step needed.

SyntaxError: invalid syntax (when using '**' in pattern)

User mistakenly used '**' in a context where Python interprets it as exponentiation (e.g., inside an f-string or without quotes).

fix

Always pass patterns as strings: globre.match('**/*.py', 'src/mod.py')
