Re: [PyMOL] Convert pml script to Pymol Python script

[Michael L. <mgl...@gm...>]

It's not elegant at all, but it's worth knowing that you can use
cmd.do("...") as a quick fix for lines that aren't immediately easy to
convert.

Even a mostly-working pml2py tool would be a useful addition to the wiki.

Cheers,
