(Adding to Bruno's comment)

This kind of style provides a reusable filter/generator-function and
as a bonus, the for-loop becomes easier to understand.

from os.path import abspath
from glob import iglob

def ipathnames(pattern):
    return (abspath(n) for n in iglob(pattern))

for xmlfile in ipathnames('*.xml'):
    <do something>
