------- Comment #5 from mdehoon at ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp  2008-04-04 23:14 EST -------
In the line shown in the Python error message, it is trying

os.path.exists(your_path)

with your_path = "C:/Documents and Settings/patnaik/My
Documents/blast/bin/blastall.exe"

and doesn't find your_path if it includes the extra ".

Can you play a bit with

>>> import os
>>> os.path.exists(your_path)
>>> os.system(your_path)

to see which variation (if any) works for both? I mean with ", without ", maybe
trying '?
