on my machine, I get

C:\> python grep.py
   File "grep.py", line 29
     (g = dirGrep("c:\\winnt"))
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

which at least points to the right line.  the error here is that you 
cannot put parentheses around an assignment in Python; grouping parens 
can only be used in expressions, and assignment isn't an expression in 
Python.
