Python (2.7.6) glob-Files matching a specified pattern

The Glob module of the Python standard library supports querying files or directories that match a specified pattern. The pattern used here is not a regular expression, but rather a wildcard that matches the Unix-style pathname extension.

Supported wildcard characters:

Wildcard characters	Description
*	Match any of the characters
?	Match one character
[]	Match any of the characters between parentheses, which you can use-to represent a range
\	Escape character, such as with \? The?

Suppose you now have a directory named Dir, and the structure of the directory and its subdirectories is as follows:

├──dir│├──db.conf│├──dir1││├──hello-a.xml││├──hello-b.xml││└──hello-d.xml│├──dir2││   ├──2014││└──2015││     ├──01.log││     ├──02.log││     └──03.log│├──f1.txt│├──f2.txt│ ├──f3.txt│├──foo.txt│└──log.conf├──hello.py
