Many thanks for you answer Thomas!
But I feel I didn't explained clearly my problem.
With your code, my problem is now to know when my program finished.
My plugin is organized like that :
1 # here it is the main of the plugin
2 # launch of my external program
3 # treatment of result of program to load new structure in PyMoL
This part has to wait the end of program. If I wait -> I can use PyMoL and
If I put in daemon it will be execute without result of my program
So my question is to know how can I wait the result of my program but with
the possibility to use PyMoL. And when it is finished, to go on lines
programming in the plugin...
Thank you again for your help,
Ed'
