 """Filename matching with shell patterns.
 
 fnmatch(FILENAME, PATTERN) matches according to the local convention.
 fnmatchcase(FILENAME, PATTERN) always takes case in account.
 
 The functions operate by translating the pattern into a regular
 expression.  They cache the compiled regular expressions for speed.
 
 The function translate(PATTERN) returns a regular expression
 corresponding to PATTERN.  (It does not compile it.)

     An initial period in FILENAME is not special.
     Both FILENAME and PATTERN are first case-normalized
     if the operating system requires it.
     If you don't want this, use fnmatchcase(FILENAME, PATTERN).
