Trouble finding Python code

[Larz60+]

I used to be pretty good at grep, (on Linux), but I
am having some difficulty using it on windows 7 with the
grep built into cmder.

grep -ri --include='*.py' 'wx.ListCtrl' .

used to work on windows (I thought), but I'm using it in a directory tree
where I should get several hits, and I'm getting none.

What's wrong with my command?

it works for me on linux and win10 with Cygwin. Although windows seems to be uber slow in comparison.

Write a short python script to do it.

I think People are paid extra to make things slow at Microsoft.
It for whatever reason is not finding anything in windows.
There is some other reason why this is not working, because it used to work.
maybe the widget was depreciated of obsoleted in Phoenix.
And to be fair, this version of grep is from GNU, who I have the highest praise for.

[wavic]

The version is written for Unix systems and who knows what is changed from Microsoft.
This is just one reason why I don't touch Windows if I can. Always happens something unexpected.

Seems to me if a piece of software "claims" it will work with a certain OS (whether Windows, Linux, *nix or Mac) then it is the responsibility of that software creator to ensure it truly does work as promised, not the OS. If I write a crappy Python script and vow that it will work on Linux and it doesn't, it would be ridiculous to blame Linux. Whether you use Cygwin on Windows or Wine on Linux (or Samba, which I truly believe doesn't work on any system) you can't expect the same performance as you get by using the actual system itself, there are just to many moving parts in trying to fool an OS into thinking it is something else. If I write (a non-python) script in Linux, I use Bash, if I write one in Windows, I use PowerShell and can think of no good reason to use either on a system other than then one it was intended for.
