You can try with the library glob.

First install the glob lybrary.

Then import it:

import glob

Then use a for loop to iterate through all files:

for fileName in glob.glob('*.py'):
    #do something, for example var1 = filename

The * is used to open them all.

More information here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/glob.html

for F in $(/bin/ls *.py); do ./$F; done

You can use any bash construct directly from the command line, like this for loop. I also force /bin/ls to make sure to bypass any alias you might have set.

Use a loop inside the folder:

#!/bin/bash
for script in $(ls); do
    python $script
done
