They're doctested, and they still work. What makes the implementation bad? They use standard Python library tools to walk a directory tree and then to do a regexp search on the files there. An advantage to this approach is that it is standard across platforms, as opposed to implementations of grep which differ on linux vs OS X (not to mention Solaris and others). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
