glob.glob() doesn't work in directories named 
"[ ]" (with a blank in it). Another example is a 
directory named "A - [Aa-Am]"
Example:
#########################
C:\>md []
C:\>md "[ ]"
C:\>copy anyfile.txt []
 1 Datei(en) kopiert.
C:\>copy anyfile.txt "[ ]"
 1 Datei(en) kopiert.

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for 
more information.
>>> import glob
>>> glob.glob ("c:\\[]\*")
['c:\\[]\\anyfile.txt']
>>> glob.glob ("c:\\[ ]\*")
[]
#########################
The second glob should have resulted the same as the 
first glob since I copied the same file to both 
directories.
I may be wrong because I'm new to python. But I've 
tested it a couple of times, and I think it have to be 
a bug of python or a bug of windows.
