It doesn't have to -- you can give it an absolute path:

 >>> from glob import glob
 >>> glob("/usr/include/std*.h")
['/usr/include/stdarg.h', '/usr/include/stdbool.h', '/usr/include/stddef.h', 
'/usr/include/stdint.h', '/usr/include/stdio.h', '/usr/include/stdlib.h']

So just prepend the dir to the pattern and then
pass it to glob.
