import pandas as pd

for i in range(10,56):
    interesting_file         


        

Answer 1

I can't test this since I don't have your data, but you want something like this (assuming python 3):

from pathlib import Path
import pandas
import geopandas

folder = Path("/Users/m3105/Downloads/area")
shapefiles = folder.glob("tl_2015_*_arealm.shp")
gdf = pandas.concat([
    geopandas.read_file(shp)
    for shp in shapefiles
]).pipe(geopandas.GeoDataFrame)
gdf.to_file(folder / 'compiled.shp')
