Hah, that can't work. listdir returns the name of the file, but not the file's 
path, which means that Python will only look in the current directory. You 
need something like this:

location = '/Users/spyros/Desktop/3NY8MODELSHUMAN/HomologyModels/'
zdata = []
for filename in os.listdir(location):
     zdata.extend(get_zcoords(os.path.join(location, filename)))


Sorry about that.
