import pywildcard
dirs = ['hello/world.py', 'hello/world.pyc', 'hello/world/other/folder/example.py']
pywildcard.filter(dirs, 'hello/*')
#  ['hello/world.py', 'hello/world.pyc']

pywildcard.filter(dirs, 'hello/*.py')
# ['hello/world.py']

pywildcard.filter(dirs, 'hello/**')
# ['hello/world.py', 'hello/world.pyc', 'hello/world/other/folder/example.py']

pywildcard.filter(dirs, 'hello/**.py')
# ['hello/world.py', 'hello/world/other/folder/example.py']

Diffs fnmatch & pywildcard

fnmatch

import re
import fnmatch

urls = ['example/l1/l2/test3-1.py',
        'example/l1/test2-1.py',
        'example/l1/test2-2.py',
        'example/l1/l2/l3/test4-1.py']

regex = fnmatch.translate('example/*')
# 'example\\/.*\\Z(?ms)'
re.findall(regex, "\n".join(urls))
# return ['example/l1/l2/test3-1.py\nexample/l1/test2-1.py\nexample/l1/test2-2.py\nexample/l1/l2/l3/test4-1.py']

pywildcard

import re
import pywildcard

urls = ['example/l1/l2/test3-1.py',
        'example/l1/test2-1.py',
        'example/l1/test2-2.py',
        'example/l1/l2/l3/test4-1.py']

regex = pywildcard.translate('example/**')
# ''example\\/.*?$(?ms)
re.findall(regex, "\n".join(urls))
# return ['example/l1/l2/test3-1.py',
#         'example/l1/test2-1.py',
#         'example/l1/test2-2.py',
#         'example/l1/l2/l3/test4-1.py']
