I used "2>&1 | tee" because in many cases I want to check the screen. That in
ab initio computations, where solving the matrix allows ample vision of the
screen. I agree that for the scope of this python script it is redundant.

It is indeed. After a few trials (I am quite new to Python and I rarely find
time for programming, but this attitude might change with Python), the
following script fulfills the scope:
f=open("output.pdb", "r")
for line in f:
line=line.rstrip()
if line:
print line
f.close()
