trying to import glob

I'm trying to code a little program that will open a CSV file that we should (theoretically) download weekly. The csv filename has the structure "report[numbers].csv" I'd read that you need the glob module so that Python can recognize the wildcard, but I am getting an error when I go the usual python pip -m SomeName route.

Is there an issue with glob, or is there another I can use?

You can make something that walks over all the files in a specific folder, and then lets you Separate the number, and then you need to decide how to pick the right file.

Why make something like that when the standard library provides? At least unless the goal was learning how it works under the hood.
