Re: [PyMOL] Install pymol as module in python in linux

[Leandro B. <lea...@gm...>]

Hi,

     I also had some problem with this. The "trick", I believe, is to
compile/install pymol with:
python2.7 setup.py build install --home=path_to_pymol/
--install-lib=path_to_pymol/modules/ --install-scripts=path_to_pymol/

     The part you are interested in is the modules. I needed to install
something called msgpack-c before compiling pymol.

     In addition, you need to add path_to_pymol/modules/ to your python
paths. You can add these to the .bashrc file:

export PYMOL_PATH=path_to_pymol/
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$PYMOL_PATH/modules:

Have fun!
Leandro
