There are many ways to do this. This should work. Tweak it to your needs.

  - file: path={{item}} mode=0644
    with_fileglob:
        - <full_path>/*.py
  - file: path={{item}} mode=0700
    with_fileglob:
        - <full_path>/*.sh

If the files are on remote, do this:

  - shell: ls /test/*.py
    register: py_files

  - file: path={{item}} mode=0644
    with_items: py_files.stdout_lines
