Michael,
Of course -- use ansynchrous Python threads to automate the process.
For example:
pymol test.pdb -l send.py &
pymol test.pdb -l receive.py
with the scripts below. Note use of the lowercase "L" option to launch
PyMOL Python scripts in their own asynchronous thread.
Cheers,
Warren
# BEGIN send.py
from pymol import cmd
from time import sleep
import os
last_view = cmd.get_view()
filename = "view.txt"
while not sleep(0.2):
cur_view = cmd.get_view()
if last_view != cur_view:
if not os.path.exists(filename):
open(filename,'w').write(str(cur_view))
last_view = cur_view
# END send.py
# BEGIN receive.py
from pymol import cmd
from time import sleep
import os
filename = "view.txt"
while not sleep(0.2):
if os.path.exists(filename):
try:
cmd.set_view(open(filename,'r').read())
os.unlink(filename)
except: # if the file isn't yet complete
pass
# END receive.py
Cheers,
Warren
