Not quite.  I'm sorry my example wasn't very clear.  While working with any 
single file I need to be able to build a list of all the other files in a 
particular set.  Basically I just need globbing of the base filename.

glob.glob(basename+'.*some_extension')

So if I was working with 'foo.par2' at the moment...

glob.glob(filename[:-5]+'.*par2')

would catch all of the files belonging to the set including 'foo.par2' 
'foo.vol0+1.par2' 'foo.vol1+1.par2' etc.

This works great (as expected) until you are working with a filename with 
brackets '[]' in it.  Then glob just returns an empty list.  So if I happen 
to be processing 'foo [bar].par2'

glob.glob(filename[:-5]+'.*par2')

doesn't return anything.  Using win32api.FindFiles(filename[:-5]+'.*par2') 
works perfectly, but I don't want to rely on win32api functions.  I hope 
that made more sense :).
