You didn't say what you wanted to do with the data in each of the files, but 
perhaps this will get you going.


flist = open('list.txt', 'r')

for fpath in flist:
     fp = open(fpath, 'r')
     #
     # Do something with data in this file
     #
     for line in fp:


     fp.close()
flist.close()
