How do I calculate the number of lines written in a project containing multiple sub dirs in a python project. for example a dir structure is like
A
\ <*some files here*>\
B
\ <*some files here*>\ ... and so on...

You could use the find utility in linux.
On the command prompt:
$ find <project_directory_path> -name '*.py' | xargs wc -l
This will give you the count of all files ending with .py in the project_directory and finally the total. (I am assuming you just want the count of .py files)
If you just want the total and nothing else, you could use:
$ find <project_directory_path> -name '*.py' | xargs wc -l | tail -1

That will not give you the total but just for individual files.

You're right, slipped my mind that -exec works on the individual file and will not provide a total (unless we use some nasty awk).
