Hi Kent:
Thanks for your response. The Grep function does a really good job of searching
across .py files in a directory or subdirectories for the specific
keyword/string.
In the PythonWin interpreter 2.1, Go to File -> New -> Grep and the search
string can be entered. It is useful in searching strings across multiple files,
especially in large projects.

different files in the Python interpreter (PythonWin 2.4). The find
function only finds files within currently open files. If I have a
folder of .py scripts and need to look up a specific keyword or string
among all these files within the project folder, is there any method
that you'd recommend?
I would do that in my editor, probably. But Python can get a list of
files in a directory with os.listdir(). Loop over the files, use
os.path.join() to make a full path, open the file, read the data, look
for the string in the data.
