[Chimera-users] Error in SASA calculation

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Aditya,
	I think the issue here is that you don't do anything to specify what  
folder you are writing "sas111.txt" in.  For instance, on the Mac if  
you start Chimera by double-clicking then the "current folder" is /,  
which you almost certainly don't have write permission for.  So  
instead of opening just "sas111.txt" you need to specify the full path  
to the file, e.g.:

out = open("/Users/aditya/sas111.txt", "a")

Along the same lines, this code will always write sas111.txt in your  
home folder:

from os import expanduser
out = open(expanduser("~/sas111.txt"), "a")

--Eric
