Are you looking for

A.) a Python script to search for file names that match a given text
string?
B.) a script to search for a given text string within a text file?
C.) a Python repository, as in the SVN/CVS area?



Here's a couple scripts for finding files given a path:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/52224
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/189973

And here's an interesting article on creating a Python "Find" utility:
http://www.python.org/search/hypermail/python-1994q2/0116.html

This link has a chapter from "Learning Python" by O'Reilly that talks
about looking for words within files:

The "repository" is here: http://svn.python.org/

Enjoy!
