MDAnalysis is an open source Python library that helps you to quickly write your own analysis algorithm for studying trajectories produced by the most popular simulation packages [Michaud-Agrawal2011].
The online documentation together with the interactive python documentation should help you while you are using the library.
DISCLAIMER: Your instructor is one of the main authors of the package and might be overly enthusiastic in promoting it...
