It was based on Python 3.3.1's glob code and is compatible with both Python 2 and 3.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and is designed as a drop-in enhancement to the standard library. However, it is distributed as source code only and has been abandoned since 2021, with the last release in 2019. While the repository remains public, there has been no maintenance activity for several years, which may affect compatibility with modern Python versions.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned with no maintenance since 2021 and last tested on Python 3.3. Modern Python versions (3.10+) have incorporated recursive glob support natively via pathlib and the standard glob module. High install friction and lack of active maintenance make this a poor choice for new projects; use the standard library instead."},"id":"glob2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/glob2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/glob2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/glob2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-06-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"glob2","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Version of the glob module that can capture patterns and supports recursive wildcards"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1106650,"position":4364,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7"}
