The code in pontoon.base.utils.glob_to_regex is affected by the py3 move pretty badly.

$ python -c 'import fnmatch;print(fnmatch.translate("*"))'
.*\Z(?ms)
$ python3 -c 'import fnmatch;print(fnmatch.translate("*"))'
(?s:.*)\Z

I wonder if it's easier to drop fnmatch.translate and just implement wildcards from scratch?

IIRC jotes had been asking about this?

I've asked about it on IRC a few days ago. Tags module uses glob_to_regex in some places, it makes easier to resource files.
We've decided to implement something simpler that doesn't need external dependencies.

Maybe some or most of the code in https://github.com/Pike/compare-locales/blob/80d52e763dc1e6a2af54473cb0307e62fd179a9f/compare_locales/paths/matcher.py#L184-L459 can help. Basically does the same thing, take some glob syntax, convert it into a sane regex.

I can try to fix this if it's not urgent (I'll need a few hours).

Thanks, let's sync on IRC.

Okay, I'm closing this one because We decided to remove the support for glob patterns in search queries. The fix will be implemented in the follow-up bug.
