How to use glob() to find files recursively?

Question

This is what I have:

glob(os.path.join(\'src\',\'*.c\'))

but I want to search the subfolders of src. Something like this would work:

In case this may interest anyone, I've profiled the top three proposed methods. I have about ~500K files in the globbed folder (in total), and 2K files that match the desired pattern.

here's the (very basic) code

import glob
import json
import fnmatch
import os
from pathlib import Path
from time import time


def find_files_iglob():
    return glob.iglob("./data/**/data.json", recursive=True)


def find_files_oswalk():
    for root, dirnames, filenames in os.walk('data'):
        for filename in fnmatch.filter(filenames, 'data.json'):
            yield os.path.join(root, filename)

def find_files_rglob():
    return Path('data').rglob('data.json')

t0 = time()
for f in find_files_oswalk(): pass    
t1 = time()
for f in find_files_rglob(): pass
t2 = time()
for f in find_files_iglob(): pass 
t3 = time()
print(t1-t0, t2-t1, t3-t2)

And the results I got were:
os_walk: ~3.6sec
rglob ~14.5sec
iglob: ~16.9sec
