How to create a batch file to run all python files in the same directory

I have a folder where I keep my python scripts used for backing up a particular system. Z:\System Administrator\System Backups\My System\Scripts\

To start them all going I would like to use a .bat file kept in the same folder, however I have zero experience with these files. My reading has lead me to this solution : 

@echo off
start /B python "File one.py"
start /B python "It's another file.py"

And if I list every python file in this way then it works as I would want. How can I run all *.py files that appear in this folder regardless of number or filename ?

Thanks in advance

That's possible with the following trick:

@echo off

for %%A IN (*.py) do start /b /wait "" python "%%~fA"

Note: For older Windows versions (pre Windows 10) the order is specific. , See here.
