<flebber.crue@gmail.com> declaimed the following:

>[sayth@localhost pyXML]$ python3 racemeeting.py data/*.xml

	You're on a Linux type OS, no?

	The SHELL is EXPANDING data/*.xml with the result that you are getting
a list of actual file names
>['data/20160528RAND0.xml']
>data/20160528RAND0.xml

	One file in the list. And your code is then joining it with "*" to
create:
	data/20160528RAND0.xml/*
which will not be found by the subsequent glob.glob
