[Chimera-users] Recursive structure matching and acquisition of descriptive numbers

Hi Joe!

You're welcome! Glad to see you got it working. I've reviewed your
code and would want to point out some details that might be helpful to
you in the future, though. These are mostly style-related things, but
those will contribute to a cleaner reading experience!

1. You don't need backslashes if you're inside parenthesis. So, in all
those parse_argument lines, you can safely delete them. Related to
this, you can wrap imports with parenthesis, so that backslashes are
not needed.
2. Tuple unpacking does not need parenthesis in you're dealing with
1D-tuples. Only needed if you are dealing with more than one dimension
(ie, (animal, fruit), sport = [['tiger', 'pear'], 'soccer']
3. Since you are opening files with the "with" context manager, you
don't need to manually close the file later. It's closed automatically
as soon as you leave that with block.
4. Lines 166-170 could be replaced with a (cleaner, but not
necessarily more performant) glob.glob() call. Check it out to see if
it satisfies your requirements.
5. While you are at it, take a look at the PEP8 docs and the Google
Python style guide. You don't need to follow all the rules, but they
are really helpful in bringing consistency to your own style!

That's it! Hope you don't mind these pieces of advice :)

Cheers,
Jaime.
