Sure, you could do something like that very easily in Python. Most simply, you could just concatenate your scripts:
from modeller import * from modeller.automodel import *
env = environ()
a = automodel(env, alnfile='align1.ali', knowns='known1', sequence='seq1) a.make()
a = automodel(env, alnfile='align2.ali', knowns='known2', sequence='seq2') a.make()
Alternatively, you could write a simple Python wrapper function to call for each model, e.g.
from modeller import * from modeller.automodel import *
def build_model(env, alnfile, knowns, sequence): a = automodel(env, alnfile=alnfile, knowns=knows, sequence=sequence) a.make()
env = environ() for (aln, knowns, sequence) in (('align1.ali', 'known1', 'seq1'), ('align2.ali', 'known2', 'seq2')): build_model(env, aln, knowns, sequence)
Or... you could use sys.argv to populate alnfile, knowns, sequence, and then use the same Python script to build different models, specifying the parameters on the command line.
As regards your other question, you can put in an os.chdir call before each automodel run, to build models in different directories.
