Philippe's answer was almost the correct one.
** is not a shortcut for (*/)#. **/ is a shortcut for (*/)#. The slash
must be there, and must immediately follow the two stars, and there must
not be anything but a slash [or open paren] preceding the two stars, or
they do not have special meaning (and are the same as one star).
In fact, Philippe's second example should work:
zmv -n '(*/)#(con*)(#qe,file ${REPLY}|grep "python script",)' '$1$2.py'
As should:
zmv -n '(**/)(con*)(#qe,file $REPLY | grep "python script",)' '$1$2.py'
You might want to use "grep -q", though.
