[PyMOL] controlling pymol externally (pipes?)

[Joshua T. <jt...@ho...>]

Has anyone had sucess running pymol "remotely", like from another program on 
the same system?

I'd love to be able to dynamically display output of my C++ program through 
pymol.  Embedding the entire pymol interpreter in my program seems like an 
unwieldy solution.  I've tried starting pymol from my C++ code, with my 
program feeding into pymol via a standard UNIX pipe, but as pymol doesn't 
seem to use STDIN/STDOUT, this doesn't work.

Thanks for any and all help,

Josh
