Do you find this code easy to read? I wouldn't write something like
this and I certainly wouldn't use it when explaining something to a
beginner.
Rather than repeated list comprehensions you should consider using a
single loop e.g.:
for filename in filenames:
# process each file
This will make the code a lot simpler.
