That approach works, but so does this one.
import os, glob
input_file_list = glob.glob('*.txt')
for in_file in input_file_list:
name = in_file.split('.')
os.rename(in_file, str(name[0]) + '.' + 'text'))
# I could have put the text extension with the period but if you use a
variable (string) for the extension then you can't

Using Jason Orendorff's path.py module:
# change all .py files in '.' to extension .new
from path import path
for f in path('.').files():
if f.endswith('.py'):
f.rename(f.splitext()[0] + '.new')
Don't try the above in a folder containing useful
Python files! ;-)
