how to calculate latitude and longitude of points using python

System ArcGIS 9.3
Python 2.5

Hello,

I have about 100 point shapefiles in a folder. (projection WGS 1984)
I would like to get the point latitudes and longitudes.
I used to use XTool Pro but it did not go well for version 9.1

Please kindly advise any python code to calculate the latitudes and longitudes.
Thank you

Not sure I understand, do you want the XY coordinates added to the attribute tables of point shapefiles for which you already have in WGS84?  I think the Add XY coordinates tool should do this, probably in decimal degrees, automatically adding PointX and PointY fields.
Also if you want to run that in batch, I think this tool will allow it...if you right-click on it in the toolbox and select Batch.
Optionally, you could set up an iterator in a Model or if you prefer, feed a list (or list a directory) into a loop in a python script.
