Of course you can always use grep as an external process (if the OS has it). For example:
------------------------------------------------------------------- In [1]: import subprocess In [2]: out=subprocess.Popen( 'grep -i blah ./tmp/*', stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True ).communicate()[0] In [3]: out Out[3]: './tmp/ex.tex:Blah blah blah...\n' ------------------------------------------------------------------- -Nick V. bhavya sg wrote: > Hi, > > I saw in PEP4 of python 2.5 that grep module has gone > obsolete in perl 2.5.
