Add support for recursive flag in glob/glob_ext

[ghost]

Hi,

I have run into the following problem. When using glob or glob_ext files are only discovered within the first sub-directory, so there seems to be no real recursion. Is this intended?

Example:

>>> t = Target.open("test/2020JimmyWilson.E01")

>>> for h in t.fs.glob("/sysvol/Users/Jimmy Wilson/Desktop/Robert Ripoff/Shesa*"):
            print(h)

Output: /sysvol/Users/Jimmy Wilson/Desktop/Robert Ripoff/Shesa Hippo.jpg

>>> for h in t.fs.glob("/sysvol/Users/Jimmy Wilson/Desktop/**/Shesa*"):
            print(h)

Output: /sysvol/Users/Jimmy Wilson/Desktop/Robert Ripoff/Shesa Hippo.jpg

>>> for h in t.fs.glob("/sysvol/Users/Jimmy Wilson/**/Shesa*"):
            print(h)

Output:

Hi @ruukaku!

The t.fs.glob and t.fs.glob_ext functions should behave similarly to the Python glob module. It does indeed look like we do not yet support the recursive=True flag that it documented for that module. That's something we could definitely add.

However, it's recommended that you actually use the pathlib API to access the filesystem contents:

t.fs.path("sysvol/Users/Jimmy Wilson").rglob("Shesa*")

Pretty much all read-only functionality that is documented for the official pathlib module will work. A TargetPath object returned from t.fs.path("/") will behave the same as a pathlib.Path object! In fact, isinstance(t.fs.path("/"), pathlib.Path) == True.

I would very much appreciate that :)

Thanks for the recommendation
