Yeah I figured that. I am trying to find a way to have the program detect if the user input is a file or directory, which is easy enough with os.path. However, os.path makes no distinction between a regular file and a mask, eg filename.txt or *.txt. I guess I'll have to have a second set of tests to see if the filename contains any wildcards..?
