Load raster into QGis with a python script

This week I have started to study PyQGis[2], then I have tried to write a python script to load several raster into the QGis layer .

My filenames contain date as a part of name, so, instead to load all files in the folder, I have built the file name as a join of two string, the path of the folder and  date (extracted from a fixed range -> 01-01-2006 to 01-31-2006). Then I have extracted the maximum and minimum value from this raster, and the value in some fixed point of a shape file.

import datetime 
import time
startdate = datetime.date(2006,1,1)
enddate = datetime.date(2006,1,31)
minValue=0
maxValue=0
#load my point
myShapeFile = QgsVectorLayer("/myPath/stazioni.shp", \
  "stazioni", "ogr")
myPoint = myShapeFile.getFeatures()

#iterate to load all raster 

for i in range((enddate-startdate).days + 1):
  currentdate = startdate + datetime.timedelta(days=i)
  tt=time.strftime("%m-%d", currentdate.timetuple())
  fileName=""
  fileName=fileName.join(["/myFolderPath/temperature",tt,".asc"])
  qgis.utils.iface.addRasterLayer(fileName)
  layer1 = qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas().layer(0)
  #iterate over all feature to extract the value
  for feature in myPoint:
     ident = layer1.dataProvider().identify(feature.geometry().asPoint(),QgsRaster.IdentifyFormatValue)
     if ident.isValid():
        print ident.results()
  maxValue1=layer1.maximumValue(1)
  if maxValue < maxValue1 :
    maxValue=maxValue1
  minValue1=layer1.minimumValue(1)
  if minValue > minValue1 :
    minValue=minValue1
  print(layer1.name())
print("Max")
print(maxValue)
print("Min")
print(minValue)

allLayers = canvas.layers()
for i in allLayers:
