I'm debugging with pdb in emacs and one of the parameters to the program I'm debugging is a list of regular expressions wrapped in quotes. Basically,
pdb someProgram.py 'regex .* .*'
from the minibuffer, I think.
The problem is that shell expansion happens here for some reason and the .* becomes expanded to a file wildcard pattern and becomes a list of all files in the current directory that start with . including .. and any hidden files.
This doesn't happen if I'm running the program from the standard command line like so:
python someProgram.py 'regex .* .*'
Why is the expansion happening in the minibuffer? And how do I prevent it from happening?
