I have a grep-like utility I call "grin". I wrote it mostly to recursively grep SVN source trees while ignoring the garbage under the .svn/ directories and more or less do exactly what I need most frequently without configuration. It could easily be extended to open gzip files with GzipFile. https://svn.enthought.com/svn/sandbox/grin/trunk/ Let me know if you have any requests. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
