Please describe the issue that you are experiencing

twine check "dist/*" used to check all distributions in dist.
It's documented as the "way" to use twine check in its --help:

⊙  twine check --help                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             julian@Mac
usage: twine check [-h] [--strict] dist [dist ...]

positional arguments:
  dist        The distribution files to check, usually dist/*

But twine 6 seems to no longer support this. (Here I've cloned the twine repository itself as a test package, and run pyproject-build . on it to produce a dist directory).

⊙  uv run --with 'twine>=6' twine check 'dist/*'                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  julian@Mac
Checking dist/*: ERROR    InvalidDistribution: Unknown distribution format: '*' 

Please list the steps required to reproduce this behaviour

Previous versions still work fine of course:

⊙  uv run --with 'twine<6' twine check 'dist/*'                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   julian@Mac

Thanks for the report @Julian -- my SWAG is that this is a regression from #1172. I'm looking at it now.

[woodruffw]

Oh, I think I see what's happening here -- 'dist/*' means that the shell's own globbing isn't used, and the _split_inputs helper isn't handling globs on its own.

[woodruffw]

#1188 should fix this -- sorry for the breakage @Julian!

[Julian]

Hooray! Thanks for the fast fix!

[Julian]

Not to press of course, but is the hope to do a 6.0.1 release of twine with this? It essentially breaks CI in all my projects unfortunately (for me), so just checking if I should put any effort into reworking my setups. (Though I guess I will anyhow for pinning twine's own version...)

[woodruffw]

I can prep a PR for a 6.0.1 release; I need to add a CHANGELOG entry anyways.

[woodruffw]

I've opened #1189 with the release prep.

[Julian]

Amazing, let me know if I can help at all obviously.
