Re: [PyMOL] Tk and scripting

[Warren D. <wa...@de...>]

Bradley,

 

PyMOL's mainloop runs in a separate thread from Tkinter, so you can't
call it directly from PyMOL scripts.

 

See modules/pmg_tk/startup/__init__.py inside the PyMOL installation for
an example code snippet for writing your own Tkinter plugin for PyMOL
(which install or run upon startup).

 

Cheers,

Warren

Subject: [PyMOL] Tk and scripting

 

I am writing a script for PyMol and noticed you that PyMol freezes when
you try to bring up your own Tkinter windows. Is there a way to get
around this so I can get my Tk window up?
