[Chimera-users] Problem with a script calculating distance between residues in a single pdb file with several models

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Damien,

   Python uses indentation for "for" loops and other code blocks.  So 
you just need to indent the rc(...) line in the for loop by one or more 
spaces.  If you end up adding more lines inside the "for" loop they all 
have to be indented by the same number of spaces.
