I am trying to write a function...(it's kind of like a long way to do

I have 3 loops nested...Within those loops, I obtain a "best fit
score" so to speak.
I can get the program to run...but the loops run all the way to the
end. I can't figure out how to print the best score found...and the
alignment that went with it. (therefore, my results will only be
correct if my last alignment is the highest scoring one--which it
usually isn't)
To try to clear this up...
The part of my pseudocode that I'm having trouble putting into actual
code in python is:
"if that alignment has the best score seen so far
save the score and that alignment"
It would be much easier for people to help you if you would include the
actual code you have written.
We have no way to tell you are running to the end or not; we certainly
have nothing showing 'a best fit' algorithm. If we can see the actual
code we can at least show you where you might want to look for current
and/or potential problems.
Also, what OS are you using?
What version of Python are you using?
