how to search multiple textfiles ?

[Stef Mientki]

hello,

I want to search multiple textfiles (python source files) for a specific 
word.
I can find all files, open them and do a search,
but I guess that will be rather slow.

I couldn't find any relevant information through google.

Does anyone know of a search library that performs this task fast ?

If it indeed only concerns py-files,
is there another way of searching words ?
( I could imagine that such a "py-only-search" would have benefits,
because you could set a flag to see the words in comment yes or no )

thanks,
Stef Mientki
