Will you tell us what errors, or should we just guess?

Since I love guessing games, let me try... my guess is that you get

AttributeError: 'SavReader' object has no attribute 'next'

Am I close? If so, try using next(sav) instead of sav.next().

Marko, it seems that you don't know how to program Python. Perhaps you should 
do a Python tutorial or two so you can fix the code instead of just commenting 
out lines.

Perhaps start here: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/
