Now for the flames...

Ben's is more readable. Except for the slicing of the extension, I don't
think it's too bad.
Also some people don't like letting reference counting close the files for
you. Jpython can't handle this because Java can't handle it.

import os.path

def catFiles(args, dirname, names):
    sliceLen= -len(args[1]) # Get the length of the extension we're looking
for
    for name in names:
        if args[1] == name[sliceLen:]:
            args[0].write(open(os.path.join(dirname, name)).read())

def doit(dir, outputfile):
    os.path.walk(dir, catFiles, (open(outputfile, 'w'),'.py'))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    doit('.', 'outputfile')
