James, First, there's a bug in the script. It's not dealing with selName correctly. To get around this just provide something to selName:
findSeq S.G, 1a3h, selName=found_seq If findSeq finds the sequence, it'll return the selected atoms in found_seq. Next, SYG is not in that protein. If you search for "S.G" you find SNG. You can double check this by: fStr = cmd.get_fastastr("1a3h") print "SYG" in fStr which return false.
