generating their names individually in a their respective files as
they were generated.

Are you talking about unzipping an archive or walking a directory? If
the former, see the zip module or use the subprocess module to control
an external archiving application. If the latter, see os.walk and the
glob module.

Hallo,
I hope, that I interpret your question in the right way.
You can use the following function as a starting point to get all
files ending with py or pyc from your working dir.
Invoke getAllFilesOfPatterns(".","*.py *.pyc")

import os
import fnmatch
def getAllFilesOfPatterns( dir ,patterns="*", recursive=True ):
""" patterns must be space separeted string of patterns
e.g: *.pdf *.ps *.html
"""
patterns= patterns.split()
retValue=[]
for path,dirs,files in os.walk(dir):
for file in files:
for pattern in patterns:
if fnmatch.fnmatch( file , pattern ):
retValue.append(os.path.join(path,file))
if not recursive: break
return retValue

Greetings

# put a "break" after the append so that you avoid (a) duplicates [if
the patterns are not mutually exclusive] (b) waste of CPU time
