Need help with a program

[evilweasel]

Hi folks,

I am a newbie to python, and I would be grateful if someone could
point out the mistake in my program. Basically, I have a huge text
file similar to the format below:

AAAAAGACTCGAGTGCGCGGA	0
AAAAAGATAAGCTAATTAAGCTACTGG	0
AAAAAGATAAGCTAATTAAGCTACTGGGTT	 1
AAAAAGGGGGCTCACAGGGGAGGGGTAT	 1
AAAAAGGTCGCCTGACGGCTGC	0

The text is nothing but DNA sequences, and there is a number next to
it. What I will have to do is, ignore those lines that have 0 in it,
and print all other lines (excluding the number) in a new text file
(in a particular format called as FASTA format). This is the program I
wrote for that:

seq1 = []
list1 = []
lister = []
listers = []
listers1 = []
a = []
d = []
i = 0
j = 0
num = 0

file1 = open(sys.argv[1], 'r')
for line in file1:
    if not line.startswith('\n'):
        seq1 = line.split()
        if len(seq1) == 0:
            continue

        a = seq1[0]
    	list1.append(a)

    	d = seq1[1]
    	lister.append(d)


b = len(lister)
for j in range(0, b):
    if lister[j] == 0:
        listers.append(j)
    else:
        listers1.append(j)


print listers1
resultsfile = open("sequences1.txt", 'w')
for i in listers1:
    resultsfile.write('\n>seq' + str(i) + '\n' + list1[i] + '\n')

But this isn't working. I am not able to find the bug in this. I would
be thankful if someone could point it out. Thanks in advance!

Cheers!
