[rb-general] patching python glob

[Bernhard M. Wiedemann]

I am thinking to propose to python upstream

https://github.com/python/cpython/compare/master...distropatches:glob?expand=1

which would make every call of glob.glob deliver (reproducible) sorted
output.

That would help a large number of existing projects
to get reproducible builds like
https://github.com/pytries/datrie/blob/master/setup.py#L10
https://github.com/jonashaag/bjoern/blob/master/setup.py#L6
https://github.com/scipy/scipy/blob/master/scipy/sparse/linalg/dsolve/setup.py#L28
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2017-May/039214.html

and also future ones.

What do you think?
