The error is due to you not surrounding AlnAB in quotes, so python treats it as
a variable which has not been defined.
That said, align modifies the coordinates of the existing object, the object
created just shows the correspondence of residues used for alignment. To save
the superimposed coordinates, you use the existing objects.
