[PyMOL] using from native Python

[Randy H. <he...@in...>]

Can I use PyMOL from native Python?  I'm aware of using the command-line
version, but this doesn't let me take an interpretive approach, with
which I'd like to experiment.

I googled and found that one could supposedly do this:

>>> import pymol
>>> pymol.finish_launching()

However, I simply get a seg fault when attempting this (and can supply
more details on that if necessary).  Can someone confirm that this works
for them?

I'm running Python 2.3.2 on Linux and PyMOL 0.95.

Thanks, Randy

Randy,

	For some reason this approach has turned out to be unstable, so I've
basically placed it on "unsupported" status until someone with a better
understanding of Python interactive mode than me can take a look at it.  

	Are you aware that the PyMOL command line is also a Python command
line?  You can just use PyMOL interactively in that fashion.

PyMOL>print 1+1
2
PyMOL>from random import random
PyMOL>print random()
0.739460642143


	The only major difference is that the default namespace for PyMOL is
"pymol" not "__main__"

PyMOL>print __name__
pymol


Cheers,
Warrne
