One point that others did not answer is the 'batch' part. If your files
are named sequentially, you can 'template' the argument you pass to the
loader function.
For example, if you load with numpy.loadtxt your data that is stored in
files named 'mydata0', 'mydata1', .... 'mydata511', your batch
processing may look like that


for ind in xrange(512): 
    filename = 'mydata%d' % ind
    data = numpy.loadtxt(filename, ... )
    #... your processing on single file

with adapted range of indices (see xrange doc), string formatting (see
string doc) and arguments to loader function
