Hi, if anybody is still interested in the topic, I have made a DSSP 
plugin for running DSSP and coloring proteins according to the DSSP 
secondary structure assignment. Please have a look at:

http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/DSSP

This plugin invokes DSSP (presuming you already have DSSP binary on your 
hard drive) and reads the output using BioPython. It then makes several 
selections, each for a kind of secondary structure elements (SSE) if 
there is at least one residue in the input selection is assigned with 
the SSE.

regards,
hongbo
