That's not really a Python question.  The shell (as it's called) which 
interprets your typed command and runs Python with the rest of the 
command line arguments is in control of this.  If you can find a way to 
tell your shell to not expand '*' characters, or find a shell that does 
not do so, then yes, you can dispense with the back-slash.
