Python glob for Perforce file specification wildcards

I need to expand file specifications containing Perforce wildcards. I need this for local files on disk (not in the Perforce depot).

That is, I need something like the standard Python glob.glob() that also understands the Perforce wildcard "...". For example:

>>> from p4glob import p4glob        # The module I wish I had
>>> p4glob('....xml')
['a.xml', 'dir/b.xml', 'x/y/z/c.xml']

Does anybody have a module that can do this?

Also, if you have the latest release of Perforce you can do this with the P4Python equivalent of p4 status ....xml.

Just use os.walk and filter it.

import os

def p4glob(ext, startdir='.'):
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(startdir):
        for f in files:
            # whatever filter params you need. e.g:
            if f.endswith(ext):
                yield os.path.join(root, f)
                # or append to an output list if you dont want a generator

# usage
[i for i in p4glob(".xml")]
