在多个文件上运行python脚本

Question

I have a python script that reads a file and extracts certain data from it, then stores the data in a dictionary, and finally inserts that into a mysql table. The first line of my code is where I enter in my filename:

filename = "examplelogfile"

which is a text file, and is later referred to as 'filename'. But I have to run this code on almost a thousand different files of this type, and I've moved all of these files to a certain server (I'm not running the script in terminal since I need to run it on the same server where the mysql database is located). What's the easiest way to run my code on all of the files?

Edit: I have tried this but it isn't giving me any output (it is supposed to print all the dictionaries):

import glob
files = glob.glob('~/Desktop/pythoncode/*logfile')
for filename in files:
    rest of code
    print dict

Try the glob module to get all files like this:

import glob
path = 'C:/Users/telli/Desktop/Test Shapes/Shapes/Squares'
filenames = glob.glob(path + '/*.gif')
for filename in filenames:
    # Do something
