Short story - I have a few thousand files in a directory I need to parse
through. Is there a simple way to loop through files? I'd like to avoid
writing a python script that can parse 1 file, and have to call it a few
thousand times from a bash script. Any input or pointers to functions
that'd help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

from glob import glob
for filename in glob("*"):
   # do something with filename

Ooo, that's nice, would that work on non *nix platforms too?

Well, yeah; note the lack of any "Availability:" restriction note in
the module's docs.

Ahh, I see (or rather I don't). I'm afraid I have a habit of missing things that aren't there, my bad.
