pygrep

Hi there,

I have converted an old Perl4 script to Python2.1. It is a simple tool to
replace grep. My new Python script currently runs about twice as slow as the old
Perl version. I've tried afew things from the Python FAQ, but nothing seems to
improve things much. Can anyone suggest performance improvements for this code?

Here's the original Perl source code (pgrep):

Here's the Python source code (pygrep):

cheers,

Steve.
