python: How do I pass a list containing a string to an open file object using python 2.7

Question

locfile = ['fileone','filetwo','filetthree']

myfile = open('locfile','rU')

as you can see open file object expects a string with a file extension as well. I simply want to pass file names in as i process the list one file name at a time. How can I do that?

Looping over a list in Python

locfile = ['fileone','filetwo','filetthree']
for x in locfile:
    file = openfile(x,'rU')
