How to automate file handling in python

Question

This is my code

f1 = open("file1.txt").read( ).splitlines( )
f2 = open("file2.txt").read( ).splitlines( )
print list(itertools.product(f1,f2))

I want to run this for all files in the directory.How to do it using python. I am unable to implement suggestions given here using glob.

Just loop through each file in the directory using os.listdir() — Abhi V, Jul 05 '17 at 09:10
What do you mean by *I am unable to implement suggestions given here using glob* - do you get errors? Please show what you have tried so far, including possible errors. — Christian König, Jul 05 '17 at 09:11
thanks @Krishan Mehta I know about for loops but I don't know to implement it in this context.We ask for suggestions here kindly don't try to mock at others just because u know something which they don't know. — Lakshmi KrishnaKumaar, Jul 06 '17 at 04:59

import glob

#For any kind of file in that directory.

for file in list(glob.glob("*")):     
    # do your work

#For specific kind of file in that directory. like all .py or .txt or .csv file.. etc. 

for file in list(glob.glob("*.file extension")):
    # do your work
