Glob Manager

The GlobManager is responsible for expanding globs and ensuring that only files are returned.

Multiple globs can be passed in to the class, these are then expanded and matching files (no directories) are returned.

As an example, the following code would set up a GlobManager class that would find all files ending in .py.

>>> manager = GlobManager(['**/*.py'])

To actually get the files matching the specified globs the get_files() method can be called:

>>> manager.get_files()

class watch_do.glob_manager.GlobManager(globs)

This class expands the globs that are provided to it.

Multiple globs can be specified in order to watch a multitude of files.
