Hi Hari,
the file (in your $HOME) directory should be called .coot.py
(dot-coot-dot-py). The dot in front is important (*)!!! coot.py is a
very different file which is read in somewhere else.
Alternatively put your coot.py file in the directory
$HOME/.coot-preferences/ (again watch out for the dot!, in case the
directory doesnt already exist).

(*) On Windows there may be the problem to rename it using the explorer.
The DOS shell should allow you to do so.
Hello Bernhard,
Thanks for your email .
It turns out that my file was not called coot.py and I also had a few
"hidden" new-line characters due to a copy paste from your wiki python
key bindings.
Once I named the file coot.py and corrected the python syntax..I see
the following behavior:
At startup I do have windows coot inform me that it read in coot.py.
However the key bindings do not work and do not show up in the User
key bindings listing. Also activating a shortcut gives a "Key 119is
not bound message"
If I now read in the same coot.py using the Menu-Run-Script-select
coot.py. The key-bindings then get registered and show up in the
listing and work just great.
So there is something..maybe in the order the python files are read in
..but having a valid coot.py file didnt add the key bindings at
startup.
I am wondering how I can avoid reading the key bindings in every time
manually.
Thanks
Hari

Hi Hari,
python scripts are read in from the following locations (*)(x):
- $HOME/.coot.py (equivalent to .coot)
- $HOME/.coot-preferences (a directory, all script file from here are read)
- $COOT_PYTHON_EXTRAS_DIR (a directory which you can specify yourself)
Calculate->Run script should always work. If it doesnt there may be
something wrong with the script. What does the DOS console tell you.
Hope this helps,

(*) on Windows (currently) $HOME is $COOT_HOME which is the directory
WinCoot is installed in
(x) wonder if this needs a better documentation, some can be found here:

Hi recently found myself using coot on windows and was wondering where
the user specific key bindings are to be introduced to coot.
This was windows 7 and I think it defines the users home directory as
C:\Users\user.name\ , but I know that other Windows versions use
"C:\Documents and Settings\user.name" as the home.
I tried to add my python coot bindings based off Bernhard Lohkamp to
both of those locations and they didnt seem to get picked up.
I then tried reading in the script bearing the key bindings using
Calculate-Runscript- and picking the filename.py . Strangely that
didnt work either.
When I then copy-pasted the python script directly into the scripting
window within coot using Calculate-Scripting-Python and then pasting
in the code there. The key bindings did show up and work proving that
there were no in-advertant syntax errors like new line charcaters etc
that were corrupting the python syntax in the filename.py.
Am I correct in that coot windows only supports python scripting and
where do I have my key-bindings python scipt so that they are picked
up on startup and show up in Extensions-Settings-Key-bindings.
Thanks
Hari
