Thanks Spir and Lie,
How about;

#!/usr/bin/python

import os
import glob
import os.path

shame_list = []
fame_list = []
pypath = "/usr/lib/python2.5/"

def grab_files():
    fnames = glob.glob(os.path.join(pypath, '*.py'))
    fnames.sort()
    sendall(fnames)

def sendall(fnames):
    for filename in fnames:
        filename = os.path.split(filename)
        filename = filename[1]
        filename = os.path.splitext(filename)
        filename = filename[0]
        test(filename)


def test(filename):
    try:
        if __import__(filename).__doc__ is None:
            shame_list.append(filename)
        else:
            fame_list.append(filename)
    except ImportError:
        pass

grab_files()
print 'Shame List: ', shame_list

How can I do;
def sendall(fnames):

More efficient.
