Hi Anasuya, instead of "python" you must type "run":
PyMOL>run findSurfaceResidues.py PyMOL>findSurfaceResidues doShow=True, cutoff=2.5 That's all. Quick explanation what happend in your case: With the "python" command you start a multi-line python block in the PyMOL command line interpreter, which will only be executed once you type "python end". Therefore nothing happend.
