Hi Chi, The file needs a .py extension to be recognized as a Python script. Microsoft Windows can be tricky when it comes to changing a file extension. I recommend to follow these steps when downloading a Python file from the PyMOLWiki:
1) Visit https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Get_raw_distances 2) Box on the right side, right click on "Download get_raw_distances.py" 3) "Save Link As..." or "Save target as..." (depends on browser) File name: get_raw_distances.py Save as type: PY File Hope that helps.
