A better way? You haven't posted a way to do that. And a quick
perusal of the docs for the glob module shows that glob uses some very
simplistic unix like pattern matching, and there are only 4 symbols
you can use. None of them allow alternate patterns, so, no, you can't
match multiple patterns in one pass. You can use os.listdir() and
regexes if you want.

Horrid? What did you have in mind? You can use the += operator:
filenames += glob.glob(pattern)
If your aversion to concatenation runs too deep, you could use a loop:
for file in glob.glob(pattern):
filenames.append(file)
