Find polar pairs with the cmd.find_pairs function and return them as a list of atom pairs. It finds (more or less) the same contacts like cmd.distance(mode=2).

Example

pairs = polarpairs('chain A', 'chain B')
for p in pairs:
    dist = cmd.get_distance('(%s`%s)' % p[0], '(%s`%s)' % p[1])
    print p, 'Distance: %.2f' % (dist)

The Script

'''
(c) 2011 Thomas Holder, MPI for Developmental Biology
'''

from pymol import cmd

def polarpairs(sel1, sel2, cutoff=4.0, angle=63.0, name='', quiet=1):
    '''
ARGUMENTS

    sel1, sel2 = string: atom selections

    cutoff = float: distance cutoff

    angle = float: h-bond angle cutoff in degrees. If angle="default", take
    "h_bond_max_angle" setting. If angle=0, do not detect h-bonding.

    name = string: If given, also create a distance object for visual representation
