Trouble porting glob bash behavior with argparse to windows shell

[Sayth Renshaw]

Hi

I had a simple argparse working on ubuntu bash. However now I am trying to run the  script on windows and it cannot work because cmd doesn't handle the glob like bash does.

So I am attempting to modify my script to accommodate.

As i am running python 3.5 i can use glob.glob for a list of files I believe.

Now I am specifying my arguments as 2 arguments path and extension

python script.py /mypath/XML *xml

This is my current error I have had many.

TypeError was unhandled by user code
Message: can only concatenate list (not "str") to list
'
import argparse 
import glob


parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description=None) 


def GetArgs(parser): 
    """Parser function using argparse""" 
    # parser.add_argument('directory', help='directory use',
    #                     action='store', nargs='*')
    
    parser.add_argument("path", nargs="+") 
    parser.add_argument('-e', '--extension', default='', help='File extension to filter by.')
    args = parser.parse_args()

    files = set()
    files |= set(glob.glob(args.path + '/*' + args.extension))
    return files


fileList = GetArgs(parser)
for file in fileList:
    print(file)


At this became unsure of where to troubleshoot further.
