I wanted this today, I had a script to write to archive a bunch of files from a folder, and I decided to try writing it in Python rather than in Bash. But I needed something stronger than `Path.glob` in order to select the files. I wanted a regular expression. (In this particular case, I wanted to get a list of all the files excluding the `.git` folder and all files inside of it.


Me, too. I miss a find like method. I use os.walk() since more than 10 years, but it still feels way too complicated.

I asked about a library on softwarerecs some weeks ago:
