The error is quite simple: LIG1.str does not exist in the working 
directory. This also means that what you posted above for your command 
is not at all what you actually typed. Please always copy and paste 
commands from your terminal rather than trying to re-create what you did.

You don't need Python 2.7.3; the script is merely advising you of what 
has been used for testing in the event that there is an actual 
Python-related issue.
