In that case, I think you just need to devise your output file name scheme, and 
it looks like you want to use 'os.path.splitext(base)[0] + ".csv")'. Then  
output each file in the same for loop, before you go back for another input 
file. Just read in the file, do whatever you want to it, and then write it to 
the new file name, all in the same loop.

I don't see any need to loop through rootobs a second time.
