class FileList: (source)
A list of files built by on exploring the filesystem and filtered by applying various patterns to what we find there. Instance attributes: dir directory from which files will be taken -- only used if 'allfiles' not supplied to constructor files list of filenames currently being built/filtered/manipulated allfiles complete list of files under consideration (ie. without any filtering applied)

Method | debug |
Print 'msg' to stdout if the global DEBUG (taken from the DISTUTILS_DEBUG environment variable) flag is true. |
Method | exclude |
Remove strings (presumably filenames) from 'files' that match 'pattern'. Other parameters are the same as for 'include_pattern()', above. The list 'self.files' is modified in place. Return True if files are found, False otherwise. |

Select strings (presumably filenames) from 'self.files' that match 'pattern', a Unix-style wildcard (glob) pattern. Patterns are not quite the same as implemented by the 'fnmatch' module: '*' and '?' ... |

Print 'msg' to stdout if the global DEBUG (taken from the DISTUTILS_DEBUG environment variable) flag is true.
Remove strings (presumably filenames) from 'files' that match 'pattern'. Other parameters are the same as for 'include_pattern()', above. The list 'self.files' is modified in place. Return True if files are found, False otherwise.
Select strings (presumably filenames) from 'self.files' that match 'pattern', a Unix-style wildcard (glob) pattern. Patterns are not quite the same as implemented by the 'fnmatch' module: '*' and '?' match non-special characters, where "special" is platform- dependent: slash on Unix; colon, slash, and backslash on DOS/Windows; and colon on Mac OS. If 'anchor' is true (the default), then the pattern match is more stringent: "*.py" will match "foo.py" but not "foo/bar.py". If 'anchor' is false, both of these will match. If 'prefix' is supplied, then only filenames starting with 'prefix' (itself a pattern) and ending with 'pattern', with anything in between them, will match. 'anchor' is ignored in this case. If 'is_regex' is true, 'anchor' and 'prefix' are ignored, and 'pattern' is assumed to be either a string containing a regex or a regex object -- no translation is done, the regex is just compiled and used as-is. Selected strings will be added to self.files. Return True if files are found, False otherwise.
