No; it works for me.

Python 2.2 (#28, Dec 21 2001, 12:21:22) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
>>> import glob
>>> glob.glob(r"C:\Program Files\Python22\lib\h*.py")
['C:\\Program Files\\Python22\\lib\\hmac.py',
'C:\\Program Files\\Python22\\lib\\htmlentitydefs.py',
'C:\\Program Files\\Python22\\lib\\htmllib.py',
'C:\\Program Files\\Python22\\lib\\HTMLParser.py',
'C:\\Program Files\\Python22\\lib\\httplib.py']

Perhaps Magnus is using an old version of Python...?
