alny way of not using glob?

[Tsang, Edward1]

I was trying to get the script written under python 2.0 to work under 1.5.2.

But I just discoverd that python1.5.2 that they installed is faulty and they
have no intention to reinstall it as not many peple use it ...

Now instead of trying to get around getopt or glob.. I need to translate the
script to work with Python 1.5.2 ..
How to translate the following lines which uses Python 2.0 string operation
to ones that are understands by Python1.5.2???

Is the following fine?
                   [fromValue, toValue] = line.split(delimiter)[:2] # Split
line
        replaced by:           
                   [fromValue, toValue] = string.split(line,delimiter)

       .......
No idea how to replace these lines with 1.5.2 syntax:  
           if caseInsensitive:
                #    charMap[ord(fromValue.upper())] = toValue
                #    charMap[ord(fromValue.lower())] = toValue
replaced by:
		I don't know ...             
                # self.charMap = "".join(charMap)
replaced by:            
   	      self.charMap = string.join("",charMap)
 ............
       if not wholeWords:
            # rePattern = '|'.join(map(re.escape, fromVals))
replaced by:  
		rePattern = string.join('|', map(re.escape,fromVals))
        else:
            # rePattern = r'\b(' + '|'.join(map(re.escape, fromVals)) +
r')\b'
replaced by:
            temp = string.join('|', map(re.escape,fromVals))
            temp = string.join(temp,r')\b')
            rePattern = string.join(r'\b(',temp) --- ???

Actually glob is a standard module in 1.5.2... in fact it appears to be
pure Python, no C code at all.  I am attaching glob.py and fnmatch.py
from 1.5.2 for you to try out.

Nope.  I use it all the time on Windows.

Actually it's [ *.py" ], that is, a list of one item which is "*.py".

> _TNLC10.py', 'tp_tc_TNLC11.py', 'tp_tc_TNLC14.py', 'tp_tc_TNLC15.py', 
> 'tp_tc_TNLC16.py', 'tp_tc_TNLC17.py']

Is this not a correct list of filenames?

What do you want it to do?
