It's not fully clear to me what you want to do. Do you want to go
through each pair x,y with x in bunch_of_files and y in range(z)? Then
you can do:
for x in bunch_of_files:
for y in range(z):
Or do you want to have one value of y for each value of x? In that
case I think you'd want:
for y in range(len(bunch_of_files)):
x = bunch_of_files[y]

I don't think such a thing exists. Either it has some length or it
does not. There's nothing in between.

See my second example above?
