I was unable to run that code:
$ cat testit.py
for filename in files:
if (any(filename.endswith(x) for x in extensions)):
print filename
$ python testit.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "testit.py", line 1, in <module>
for filename in files:
NameError: name 'files' is not defined

Dunno. You didn't provide enough information for us to answer your
question: the code you posted won't run and don't tell us what values
you're using for any of the variables.
Here's a piece of runnable code that I think does what you want:
$ cat testit.py
files = ["foo.bar", "foo.baz", "foo.bax"]
extensions = [".baz",".spam",".eggs"]
for filename in files:
if (any(filename.endswith(x) for x in extensions)):
print filename
$ python testit.py
foo.baz
