Workaround
1) Convert all shapefiles from a folder to one personal geodatabase or file geodatabase.OR2) Use native a py module method to list shapefiles from a directory. The following is an example of how you could use the glob module to build a list of all shapefiles in a given directory. #############################import sys, string, os, glob, timegp = arcgisscripting.create()root = r"C:\Incidents\Active" # one specific folderfile_list = []for folder in glob.glob(root): for file in glob.glob(folder + '/*.shp'): file_list.append(file)x = 0while x < len(file_list): print file_list[x] x+=1############################Steps to Reproduce
