yea...sorry i snipped one line by accident for the email
should be:

def updateDS1v(Fxas, x):
if Fxas !=0 and DS1v.get(x)!=None:
value = DSvalues.get(heavy)
floatvalue = float(value)
atoms = DS1v.get(x) + Fxas*floatvalue
DS1v[x] = atoms
else:
value = DSvalues.get(heavy)
floatvalue = float(value)
DS1v[x] = Fxas*floatvalue

thanks
