fnmatch()函数匹配能力介于简单的字符串方法和强大的正则表达式之间，如果在数据处理操作中只需要简单的通配符就能完成的时候，这通常是一个比较合理的方案。此模块的主要作用是文件名称的匹配，并且匹配的模式使用的Unix shell风格。源码很简单：
"""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.)

"""Test whether FILENAME matches PATTERN.
Patterns are Unix shell style:
* matches everything
? matches any single character
[seq] matches any character in seq
[!seq] matches any char not in seq
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).

# 字符串的 startswith() 和 endswith() 方法对于过滤一个目录的内容也是很有用的
# 这两个函数通常会被忽略的一个特性是在处理非文件名的字符串时候它们也是很有用的。 比如，假设你有一个街道地址的列表数据

'1060 W ADDISON ST',
'1039 W GRANVILLE AVE',
'2122 N CLARK ST',
'4802 N BROADWAY',

print([addr for addr in address if fnmatchcase(addr, '* ST')])
shell_match = 'Celery_?*.py'
print(translate(shell_match))
# 输出结果：(?s:Celery_..*\.py)\Z
Celery_..*\.py就是正则表达式的写法。
