How can I do this in python?

Answer 1

This is really old thread, but might be useful to someone who stumbles across this. In python 3, there is a module called "glob" which takes "egrep" style search strings and returns system appropriate pathing (i.e. Unix\Linux and Windows).

https://docs.python.org/3/library/glob.html

Example usage would be:

results = glob.glob('./**/FILE_NAME')

Then you get a list of matches in the result variable.
