Does Python seem appropriate for me?

As Steve replied, you'd want to quote and ground the pattern,
resulting in some such as:
    find . | grep '\.py$'

In the given case,
    find . -name '*.py'
is easier.

However the above "find-pipe-grep" pattern is quite useful
if the name pattern you are searching for is more easily
expressed using grep regular expressions than using shell
(or find) glob expressions.
