[New-bugs-announce] [issue25596] regular files handled as directories in the glob module

[Xavier de Gaye]

New submission from Xavier de Gaye:

The glob module happily joins names of regular files together with os.path.join() or attempts to list the files contained into a regular file (sic). The same 'except os.error' statement is used to handle both these cases and the case of a non readable directory.

The attached patch makes the code more correct and easier to understand.
