Re: [PyMOL] How do I get current selection name from python?

[Thomas H. <tho...@sc...>]

Hi Boris,

this will give you the list of active selections, which has by default only one entry (or zero, if no selection is enabled).

active_selections = cmd.get_names('selections', 1)

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
  Thomas
