How to implement an excluded list for files and directories in python3

Question

I need a excluded list feature that, given a specific filename or directory name, it can tell me if they should be excluded (just like .gitignore). And it needs to support both specific names such as /home/abc/test or wildcard cases such as /home/*/test/ (All test directory of ALL directories under /home).

I thought it's quiet a standard feature, is there any existing package can do that? (I checked the glob module but it only expands the * to one directory level.)

Thanks Lex. I think fnmatch.fnmatchcase is what I'm looking for.
