Thats what I thought..
I dont know if there is a python way of doing it, but if replacing text
is the only concern, wouldnt a good editor with regex search+replace
make the job easier ?

or if your in a unix with ksh / pdksh

for f in $(ls)
do
 sed -e "s/print self.a_method.__name__/print self.new_name.__name/g"
done

or similar...

I'm not helping much, am I :)
