It is due to how the python wrappers are generated and I haven't figured out a way to report a better error message. I'll take another look as it is rather misleading :-)

When trying to read a pdb file that does not exist on my disk I get a puzzling message :

mh = IMP.atom.read_pdb(pdbFilePath,m,sel)
NotImplementedError: Wrong number of arguments for overloaded function 'read_pdb'.
Possible C/C++ prototypes are:
IMP::atom::read_pdb(IMP::TextInput,IMP::Model *)
IMP::atom::read_pdb(IMP::TextInput,IMP::Model *,IMP::atom::PDBSelector const &,bool)
IMP::atom::read_pdb(IMP::TextInput,IMP::Model *,IMP::atom::PDBSelector const &)
