I was already thinking along those lines. I made it:
    def find(directory, to_match):
        to_match = to_match.lower()
        results = []
        for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(expanduser(directory)):
            for filename in filenames:
                if(fnmatch(filename.lower(), to_match)):
                    results.append(os.path.join(dirpath, filename))
        return results

I have to look into it further. For one thing default the match should
be case dependent and an option used to make it independent.

I think it is useful to have it in Python also, so I should not use
ipython specific things.

In ‘~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/00-init.ipy’ I have:
    from utilDecebal import find

and now ‘find('~', '*Python*.pdf')’ gives what I want.
