[PyMOL] using package Scientific from within pymol on OS X-X11 hybrid

[gilleain t. <gil...@ho...>]

I guess this might seem obvious to some people, but I wanted to use Vectors 
and Objects3D from pymol scripts, but I couldn't see how.

however, it turns out that if you copy the entire (python) source tree of 
Scientific - IE:

"ScientificPython<version>/Scientific/"

into

"/Applications/PyMolX11blahHybridetc/py23/lib/python2.3/site-packages"

(er..and restart pymol (this foxed me for a while :) )

you can say :

from Scientific.Geometry import Vector
print Vector((0,0,0))

and get

[0 0 0]

hopefully! Anyway, there might be a better way, but this works. One tiny 
glitch is the change from Numeric to numarray. This can be 'fixed' 
('hacked') by using *cough*perl*cough*:

perl -i -p -e 's/Numeric/numarray/g' *.py */*.py

which should substitiute all instances of 'Numeric' with 'numarray'.
