In which case the match failed.  So add an 

if match:
    filestoprocess.append(...)

Also, you might want to look at the glob module.  It does pretty much
what you want with one command

>>> import glob
>>> glob.glob('/tmp/prabhu/pkg/*.py')
['/tmp/prabhu/pkg/a.py', '/tmp/prabhu/pkg/my_import.py', '/tmp/prabhu/pkg/test.py', '/tmp/prabhu/pkg/__init__.py']
