personally I'd use find and sed in Linux, right tool

Shouldn't that be os.path.walk()?
And os.path.walk takes 3 arguments:
the starting point
a function that it calls
a placeholder for arguments to the function
A simple file printer is:
>>> def f(arg, dir, names): print names
>>> os.path.walk('.', f, None)
In your case you want to write an f() that iterates
over the names argument and opens each file, does
a string replacement and closs the file again.
You probably should do some validation on the name
and file type too...
Thats why I'd use find and sed...
