is their a way to execute all python files inside a folder by single command ?

Answer 1

find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.py" -exec  python3 {} \;

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Use a loop inside the folder:

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

Answer 4

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.
