If you mean python code (*.py) files, then no, at least without a lot of special code. (except for the dot before the "py").

That's because python files are usually modules, and so they need to have valid python variable names. e.g.

a_file.py

is imported as:

import a_file

and then a_file is a name in that namespace.

And the "dot" --  has special meaning in Python, so can not be in a variable name.

This limitation can be worked around, but you really don't want to do that ...
