RE: [PyMOL] cmd.quit() kills pymol together with the external python launcher

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

PyMOL can't be stopped and restarted within a Python -- it terminates
the process.

However, you can hide the graphics window as needed...

cmd.window("hide")
cmd.window("show")

(in the future, pymol2 will support class-like behavior.)

Cheers,
Warren
