That sounds reasonable to me but I know next to nothing about python. Maybe I should have included the misbehaving script, which was taken directly from the PyMOL wiki script library:
## This is just a quick hack. For something more meaty see; ## http://arcib.dowling.edu/sbevsl/ ## Version 0.0.00-000/1 ## Turn off the virtual_trackball cmd.set("virtual_trackball", "off") ## spacefill def spacefill(p1=''): if(p1=='off'): cmd.hide("spheres") elif(p1==''): cmd.show("spheres") else: print("feh!") cmd.extend("spacefill", spacefill) ## cartoon def cartoon(p1=''): if(p1=='off'): cmd.hide("cartoon") elif(p1==''): cmd.show("cartoon") else: print("feh!") cmd.extend("cartoon", cartoon) ## wireframe def wireframe(p1=''): if(p1=='off'): cmd.hide("lines") elif(p1==''): cmd.show("lines") else: print("feh!") cmd.extend("wireframe", wireframe) ## exit def exit(): cmd.quit() cmd.extend("exit", exit) Any part of it works fine when pasted, but no part works when invoked by "run..."
