However, python's glob module is written for unix-style globs in which brackets
represent character classes / ranges.
On Windows we should escape those brackets to get the right results.
But calling glob.escape would also escape asterisk which may not be desired.
So this module just provides a modified version of glob.glob which will escape
only square brackets when called on windows, and behave normally on linux.
