under unix/linux, google tells me that:
|grep -lr -e '<searchterm>' * | xargs sed -i 
's/<searchterm>/<targetterm>/g'|

will do the trick.

To improve your code layout/design, you may want to try pylint.
It requires a little bit of tunning, because the default rules are not 
always that satisfying, but it should give you an idea how your code is 
in bad shape once you'll get those thousands warnings from pylint :o)
