glob problem...

[Simon Brunning]

I'm having a bit of a problem with glob. (I'm using Python 2.0b1 and
PythonWin build 134 on WinNT.)

The following all seems to work as expected interactivly:

¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø
,¸
>>> import getopt, glob, operator
>>> arguments = ('-h', 'c:\\temp\\lit\\*.txt')
>>> options, arguments = getopt.getopt(arguments, '?h')
>>> arguments = reduce(operator.add, map(glob.glob, arguments))
>>> for option, value in options:
... 	if option[-1] in '?h':
... 		print 'help'
... 
help
>>> for argument in arguments:
... 	        print argument
... 	       
c:\temp\lit\0DDCC10.TXT
c:\temp\lit\1DFRE10.TXT
c:\temp\lit\1EPOE10.TXT
etc.
¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø
,¸

But when I try the following script:

¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø
,¸
import sys

def main(*arguments):
    import getopt, glob, operator
    options, arguments = getopt.getopt(arguments, '?h')
    arguments = reduce(operator.add, map(glob.glob, arguments))
    for option, value in options:
        if option[-1] in '?h':
            print 'help'
    for argument in arguments:
        # Process file
        print argument

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main(sys.argv[1:])
¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø
,¸

I get:

¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø
,¸

Any ideas?
