List of files to be opened

[yawgmoth7]

Hello, I am currently writing a script that requires a few different
files to be opened, and examined. What I need to be able to do is use
something like:

filelist = os.system("ls")
<Some way to open the file list and read each file one by one here
>

I cannot think of a way to do this, I could put them in a list of
something of the sort. But that still does not solve the problem of
opening them one by one.

Thanks for all the advice and help.
