Are you looking for A.) a Python script to search for file names that match a given text string? B.) a script to search for a given text string within a text file? C.) a Python repository, as in the SVN/CVS area? Here's a couple scripts for finding files given a path: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/52224 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/189973 And here's an interesting article on creating a Python "Find" utility: http://www.python.org/search/hypermail/python-1994q2/0116.html This link has a chapter from "Learning Python" by O'Reilly that talks about looking for words within files: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lpython/chapter/ch09.html The "repository" is here: http://svn.python.org/ Enjoy!
