Re: [PyMOL] XML-RPC --> master/slave(s) pymol sessions

[Shivender S. <shi...@um...>]

FWIW, perhaps now would be a good a time to start looking at
integrating Verse into PyMOL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verse_protocol

Blender, an open-source graphics program (and a free alternative to
Maya), uses it quite well.

Just as an aside, improved PyMOL and Blender integration would be
simply awesome...


...and now I shall step off the soap-box.

Best,
Shiven
