Use the following for loop to iterate all footprints in the current board:

list_footprints.py

for footprint in list(pcbnew.GetBoard().GetFootprints()):
    # Example of what to do with [footprint]
    print(footprint.GetReference())

for footprint in list(pcbnew.GetBoard().GetFootprints()):
    # Example of what to do with [footprint]
    print(footprint.GetReference())
