Your script appears to have issues to em.

What follows is what your script does, which is probably not what you intended.

Code:
mkdir result/$doc/02-data                
      -> create a new empty directory in the current directory
FILES="result/${doc}/01-data/*"    
-> FILES is a variable with a list of all  files in whatever the variable doc points to
for X in $FILES
-> loop thru each file in FILES

do
	name=$(basename $X) 
-> the filename without a directory for each filename in FILES
	cat *| python compare.py > result/${doc}/02-data/${name}		
-> Pipe content of  all files in the current directory into a python script
---> redirect the python output to the file with current value of name and doc
done

The script does not make sense to me. Please tell us what you are trying to do -NOT what you think your script should look like.

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a	Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
