Hi Karan,
	There is an underlying function in MatchMaker (MatchMaker.match) that  
can be called from Python to perform the same work as MatchMaker and  
retrieve the matching information.  I've attached a script that uses  
the function to match chain A of two open models (the script assumes  
exactly two structures are open) and print the RMSD, residue pairs,  
and their CA-CA distances to the reply log.  You should look over the  
script and the definition of the match function (in chimera/share/ 
MatchMaker/__init__.py) and modify it to suit your needs.  I assume  
you know enough Python to convert the plain print statements into the  
equivalents needed to output to a file.
	Let me know if you have questions.
