AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'da'

Hello

I try to edit attribute table for 20 shapefiles that spread in big a folder and are divided to a lot of sub folders. All shapefiles are called "migrashim" and the name of the filed that i want to change is "structuretype". I try this code:

when i run this code:

import arcpy,os,sys
from arcgisscripting import da


pattern = 'migrashim.shp'
folder = r"C:\Project\layers" ## root folder
field = 'YEUD' ## your field where calculation to be applied
files_process = []
for root,dirs,files in os.walk(r"C:\Project\layers"):
    for filenames in files:
        if filenames == pattern:
            files_process.append(os.path.join(root, filenames))


for i in files_process:
    curU = arcpy.UpdateCursor(i)
    for row in curU:
        row.setValue(field, 500)##Any expression you want
        curU.updateRow(row)
del curU

i get an error:

Ahh if the Mom won't help we will try Dad...but in short I will not get into parental disputes and let your figure it out in the parental forum

interesting though... you have a bigger issue...

>>> import arcpy
>>> import os
>>> rootPath = r"c:\!np_arc"
>>> pattern = "AOI_mtm9.shp"
>>> files_process = []

...  for filename in files:
