I think "data.extend(f)" would be a better choice.

.extend does something different, and "range(N, 1)" is an empty range
if N > 0.

Mea culpa - I had it in my head the OP wanted to treat the files as one contiguous one. So yeah:

# something equiv to... (unless it is definitely a fixed range in which
# case (x)range can be used)
data = [ list(open(fname)) for fname in iglob('/home/jon/data*.txt') ]

# then if they ever need to treat it as a contiguous sequence...
all_data = list(chain.from_iterable(data))

Jon.
