There is a successor project

Use that instead since it is better in almost every aspect:

When I wrote this code many years ago, python has just been released.

There was no python style recommendation out there (or I was not aware of).

From current viewpoint the code reads rather ugly and hardly pythonic.

However, I left it unchanged except for some python2/3 compatibility quirks.

`pyrep` (*Py*thon g*rep*) is a python script with which you can search

and also replace regular expressions in a collection of files.

Its functionality is similar to the perl script `plrep` from

https://github.com/vaeth/mv_perl/

To install this script, just copy the content of bin/ into your `$PATH`.

To get zsh completion, copy the content of zsh/ to your zsh's `$fpath`,

perhaps `/usr/share/zsh/site-functions/`.

For Gentoo, there is an ebuild in the `mv` repository

(available by `app-select/eselect-repository` or `app-portage/layman`).
