Python：在脚本中处理globbing

Question

$ script.py *.txt

I want to run script.py on all .txt files in this directory, which include 1.txt, 2.txt, and 3.txt. There's two approaches I can think of to this: having the python script handle globbing, or having the shell spawn multiple processes.

Having the script handle globbing is the approach I prefer.

According to Prevent globbing after variable substitution I can use set -f to turn it off. How would I be able to specify this option exclusively for Python scripts?

Answer 1

Why would you want to do this via Python globbing? A shell script would be perfect, IMHO, and you separate the core functionality of what your python script is supposed to do, vs. the menial task of running it for all the *.txt files in the directory.

Answer 2

If for some reason you need the gobbling inside the script (counting the total number of files processed, for example), it's possible to use:

script.py '*.txt'

or

script.py "*.txt"

Answer 3

If you have a huge number of files in the directory, iglob() would be better. You have to pass in the glob parameter as a string:

$ script.py "*.txt"
